Emerging PET Tracers in Cardiac Molecular Imaging

Abstract 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and 18F-sodium fluoride (NaF) represent emerging PET tracers used to assess atherosclerosis-related inflammation and molecular calcification, respectively. By localizing to sites with high glucose utilization, FDG has been used to assess myocardial viability for...
