Image metrics to quantify visual impression of 18F-FDG PET heterogeneity in diagnosing cardiac sarcoidosis

Conclusions: Image count distribution metrics of 18F-FDG-PET/CT & 99mTc-MIBI SPECT/CT LV myocardial perfusion successfully reflected subjective perfusion heterogeneity visual readings, & thus may aid in quantifying whether therapeutic interventions to treat cardiac sarcoidosis demonstrate a measureable beneficial effect in individual pts.
