Assessment of Severity of Coronary Artery Stenosis in a Canine Model Using the PET Agent 18F-Fluorobenzyl Triphenyl Phosphonium: Comparison with 99mTc-Tetrofosmin
Abstract
Myocardial perfusion imaging plays an important role in clinical management of coronary artery disease, but the most commonly used radionuclides significantly underestimate the severity of coronary artery stenosis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential clinical utility of the PET compound (18)F-fluorobenzyl triphenyl phosphonium ((18)F-FBnTP) and characterize its capacity to assess the severity of coronary artery stenosis in …
