ECG-gated dynamic myocardial PET with 15O-H2O estimated higher perfusable tissue fraction in the ischemic myocardial lesions after revascularization: compared with conventional non-gated PET

Conclusions: We developed a technique to estimate the perfusable tissue fraction in the ischemic myocardial lesion before and after revascularization using ECG-gated dynamic myocardial PET with 15O-H2O. ECG-gated PET enabled to suppress the LV wall motion artifact, and could estimate the increase of perfusable tissue in the ischemic myocardial lesion after revascularization better than conventional non-gated myocardial dynamic PET.
