Feature tracking on gated 13N-ammonia PET gave RV strain that correlated well with simultaneous cine MR (GLS r=0.77) in 123 patients. But limits of agreement stayed wide.

Ready to make the move 🚚from #SPECT to #PETMPI?
📖Read this JNC "How-To" review 👇shorturl.at/c5GFX which provides a
practical roadmap to effectively implement cardiac PET imaging. From imaging workflows to staff education, program design & implementation.

ASNC has released its 2026 Guideline for Stress Testing in #SPECT & #CardiacPET MPI with updated recommendations spanning patient prep, stress protocols, safety, interpretation, reporting & lab supervision.

In a retrospective study of 100 patients with known or suspected myocarditis, identifying metabolic activity (focal FDG uptake) that aligned with structural tissue damage (LGE) unmasked a high-risk phenotype.

In a study of 396 patients (1,077 territories) who underwent 82Rb PET MPI and invasive coronary angiography, use of the base-to-apex stress MBF gradient improved diagnosis of obstructive CAD in the LAD (AUC 0.774 vs 0.743; P=0.002), but not in LCX or RCA. @Yoshito_Kadoya b @HeartInstitute

In a cohort of 530 patients referred for sarcoidosis FDG PET/CT, lateral wall FDG uptake without an associated perfusion defect was significantly more common in patients with LBBB or V-pacing (39.1%) than those without (10.8%) (p<0.001).
