Emerging role of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in cardiac surgery.
Journal of Cardiac Surgery 2022 December
Historically, structural and anatomical imaging has been the mainstay in the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular diseases. In recent years there has been a shift toward increased use of functional imaging studies, including positron emission tomography (PET). PET is a noninvasive nuclear medicine-imaging technique that uses radiotracers to generate images of a radionucleotide distribution by detecting the physiologic substrates that emit positron radionuclides. This article will focus on the applications of PET imaging for the cardiac surgeon and highlight the collaborative nature of using PET imaging for the management of complex heart disease. We present cases that demonstrate the value of using PET imaging in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease and management of complex endocarditis, and in targeted cardiovascular therapies.
