• While early mortality in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) has greatly decreased, these patients remain at risk for late adverse effects. To assess risk factors for these adverse effects both PET and MRI are currently being used separately to obtain and assess important information regarding heart function, infarct size and inflammation. Therefore, hybrid PET/ MRI is promising as this gives the ability to simultaneously measure complementary aspects of inflammation post-MI through both modalities as well as decreasing scan time for patients.
OBJECTIVES After reading and reflecting upon this article in the Journal Nuclear Cardiology, the learner should be able to: 1. Recognize the available PET tracers used to track myocardial inflammation and the difference between those tracers 2. Describe how to use convergent PET/MRI to decrease tracer dose in stress/rest perfusion and inflammation scans 3. Identify three areas of development needed to improve hybrid PET/MR imaging
