Assessment of Coronary Artery Disease by Hybrid PET/CT

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Coronary Artery Disease

In brief

There have been many advances in the test used to look for heart disease. An example of this newer technology is the Multislice CT scan (MSCT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans. The use of this type of combined scan may show early coronary artery disease or the degree of damaged heart muscle form a heart attack with a single exam. It may help doctors to know who might benefit from heart surgery or angioplasty to increase the blood flow to the heart. This type of detailed images has previously been available only through cardiac catheterization.
