The Number of Frames on ECG-Gated 18F-FDG Small Animal PET Has a Significant Impact on LV Systolic and Diastolic Functional Parameters

Objectives. This study is aimed at investigating the impact of frame numbers in preclinical electrocardiogram- (ECG-) gated 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) on systolic and diastolic left ventricular (LV) parameters in rats. Methods. 18F-FDG PET imaging using a ded...
