Status of F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in normal and hibernating myocardium after glucose and insulin loading

Status of F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in normal and hibernating myocardium after glucose and insulin loading

Objective: F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) has been increasingly used in myocardial viability imaging. In routine PET viability studies, oral glucose and intravenous insulin loading is commonly utilized. In an optimal study, glucose and insulin loading is expected to...
