Advanced Tracers in PET Imaging of Cardiovascular Disease

Figure 5

Cardiac PET/MR imaging of a 66-year-old male patient with ST-elevation myocardial infarction and acute occlusion of the left anterior descending artery. (a) Late gadolinium-enhanced (LGE) image shows no infarction zone. (b) Fused LGE and PET images show that tracer uptake was reduced. (c) MR image shows myocardial edema (arrows) that corresponded well with the area of reduced tracer uptake on (d) (from [118] with permission).
