Cardiac PET Imaging
PET (Positron Emission Tomography) is a non-invasive diagnostic test used to diagnose coronary artery disease and detect areas of low blood flow in the heart. PET can also identify dead tissue and injured tissue that’s still living and functioning. If the tissue is viable, you may benefit from a PCI or coronary artery bypass surgery.
- Higher Resolution & Greater Diagnostic Accuracy than SPECT
- One Hour Test Duration
- Lower Radiation Exposure than Other Modalities
- Covered by Most Insurances if you Qualify
