Why PET?
• Improved resolution-not really required in cardiology
• Improved sensitivity – this may be important-financially as reduced acquisition time
• Improved attenuation correction-good • Look at metabolism-could be very good

PET-CT
• New technology • Combines
– functional information-PET – anatomical information-CT
• Machine able to perform both studies in single imaging episode
• PET imaging depends on positron decay

PET
• Positron Emission Tomography • Positrons positively charged electrons • Travel 0.001-1mm hit electron • Annihilate e=mc2 • 2 x 511 kev gammas produced travel at 180
degrees • Detected by a ring of detectors • Many used in cancer imaging

Time of flight • Normally PET uses co-incidence event • PET systems can only determine the line along
which event occurred • If resolution fast enough (eg <600ps) can detect
different times that the 511keV arrives at detector so can determine site of origin
• Seems to be of particular use in more obese patients
• Also can reduce activity required eg from 400-200MBq F-18 FDG

Time of flight both events recorded

F-18 FDG
• Most commonly available PET radiopharamceutical
• Uptake dependent on glucose drive in cells • Related to hypoxia
– Glucose to lactate (no O2) = 4ATP per molecule – Glucose to Krebs cycle =32 ATP per molecule
• So ischaemic tissue needs lots of glucose but remember in diabetics competitive uptake so need blood glucose <6mmol/l

Viability
• In patients with severe ischaemia identification of viable heart very important
• Revascularisation may result in improvement in flow and over time return of function
• Prognosis dependent on LVEF in these patients is viable myocardium not improved 32% 1 year survival vs 7% if improved (Dy Carli et al JTCS 1998)
• F-18 FDG can find that viability

Perfusion and viability
• Viability found with F-18 FDG (where uptake may be increased in severe ischaemia)
• How about perfusion – N-13 H3
– Rb-82 • However though not perfect can use single
photon for perfusion

FDG in action
• Wu et al Kyoto JNM 2007 • Looked at 41 patients with severe IHD • Using Tl-201/FDG PET mismatches
identified (heart divided into 17 segments) • 394 viabible segments per heart were
identified in 31 patients • 29 had CABG, 76% of these had an
improvement of >5% in LVEF

FDG in viability
• Slart et al Groningen JNC 2006 • 213 segments in 31 patients (17 segments
per patient) were imaged with F-18 FDG before and just after CABG
• An increase in F-18 FDG uptake of more than 50% post surgery predicted improvement in LVEF in 93% of cases (specificity 85%)
![Page 18: Cardiac PET - University of Pretoriacardiac anatomy and function and result of genetic treatment . Able to show reporter gene function and perfusion with PET .

Comparing NH3 and F-18 FDG
• Slart et al Groningen EJNMMI 2006 • Used combination of NH3 and F-18 FDG
PET to determine areas of viability (reduced NH3 with normal or raised F-18 FDG) or normal NH3 but raised F-18 FDG)
• 47 patients with severe IHD • In 90% of these PET predicted an
improved LVEF post surgery

Improving the system
• Can we use PET to provide a better service
• Rb-82 may allow for faster more accurat imaging
• Possibly all can be performed in a (one stop shop)
• Especially with 64 or 128 slice CT

Rb-82 for perfusion
• Bateman et al Kansas JNC 2006 • 112 patients had Tc-99m MIBI and Rb-82
perfusion studies • 4 blinded readers compared results with
CABG (stenosis of 70%) • Rb-82 had accuracy of 89% compared
with 79% for SPECT (p=0.003) • Rb-82 better in men and the obese

What else can we do with PET
• Look at fatty acid uptake which may be the first change to occur with ischaemia – C-11 acetate
• Look at deposition of Ca in placques more specific to ongoing process than CT – Na-F-18 CAFÉ project
• Look at hypoxia directly with F-18 FMISO or Cu-64 ATSM

N-13 NH3) and F-18 FDG PET • Can be used to predict response to
surgery • How does PET results compare with MR? • New role of PET in peripheral CV disease
