Strategy to improve the detectability of Myocardial Flow Reserve in the ischemic myocardial lesion after revascularization using ECG-gated dynamic myocardial PET with 15O-H2O: Comparison with non-gated PET

Conclusions: We developed a technique to estimate the myocardial flow reserve 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 the myocardial flow reserve in the ischemic myocardial lesion after revascularization better than conventional non-gated myocardial dynamic PET.
