Authors' objectives:
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a noninvasive, three-dimensional imaging technique that measures the level of physiologic or biochemical activity within an organ or organ system by reflecting the distribution of a radiotracer that has been injected or inhaled. PET has been proposed as a means to measure myocardial metabolism for identifying viable myocardium and likelihood of treatment-induced improvement in ventricular function or health outcome; as a means to assess left ventricular function, when used with gated methods; and as a means to assess the effects of treatment for heart disease.
