Cardiac Water and Fluoromethane Cardiac PET

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Healthy Volunteers

In brief

In this study we are looking at the blood flow to the heart using two different chemical tags or tracers that give off a low level of radiation. The tracers used in this study are called O15-water and F17-fluoromethane. These tracers mix with the blood and will move through the body. The researchers will use positron emission tomography (PET scans)to track the tracers as they moe through the heart and chest.
