Coronary artery disease  

• Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a blockage of the arteries that feed the heart muscle.

• CAD is the most common form of heart disease, and is the leading cause of death in the Western world.

• Despite recent advances in therapeutic and diagnostic approaches, CAD remains a primary health problem worldwide.

• Nuclear medicine technology plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis and treatment design for CAD.

• The field of nuclear cardiology was initiated with the development of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI).

Monitoring Coronary artery disease ‐ History 

In the mid‐1970’s the discovery was made that thallium201 (201Tl) (an analog and replacement to 43K) wasextracted by the myocardium and that comparison of itsdistribution when injected during exercise vs. resting stateallowed noninvasive detection of significant coronarystenosis with a gamma camera.

Filling defect – an area where there is normal uptake in rest but decreased uptake in stress

In the early 1990’s, several novel 99mTc‐labeled perfusion tracers (99mTc‐sestamibi, 99mTc‐teboroxime, 99mTc‐tetrofosmin) were developed.

The emission energy (140‐kev) for Tc is better suited for gamma camera, and the shorter half life allows for higher dose injection. 

8.3 M procedures per year only in the USA, 65% of all noninvasive cardiac imaging for CAD detection and evaluation. 98% of MPI performed by SPECT.

Poor image quality, continuous redistribution, low maximal dose, low first pass extraction, artifacts because of soft tissue attenuation. Inability to diagnose multi vessel disease.

Requirements for MPI tracer

• High Intrinsic resolution• Moderate half life• In vivo stability• High accumulation and retention of tracer in the heart 

with minimal redistribution.• A linear correlation between blood flow and cardiac 

extraction (high first pass extraction)• Rapid washout out from blood & surrounding organs• Renal clearance• An understanding of physiological and pathological 

effects on accumulation• A simple, reliable and fully automated synthesis

Monitoring Coronary artery disease 

• PET offers higher count sensitivity, better spatial resolution, 3D dynamic acquisition, more accurate attenuation correction.

• The ability to quantify myocardial perfusion in absolute values  (mL/min/g tissue) particularly in multivessel CAD.   (SPECT interpretation model is relative and relies, sometimes erroneously, on having at least one myocardial region with normal perfusion.)

• Limited availability of suitable PET tracers.

• Existing PET MPI probes have short physical half lives, which require in‐house production, and more importantly, have sub‐optimal pharmacokinetic profiles.

Major portion of all noninvasive imaging for CAD detection  is performed by NM

Despite the advantages of PET over SPECT (higher count sensitivity, better spatial resolution, 3D dynamic acquisition, more accurate attenuation correction, ability to quantify myocardial perfusion in absolute values ), a  major portion of cardiac imaging is performed with SPECT.

The recent abundance of PET‐CT scanners  and the development of novel carbon‐11  and fluorine‐18 labeled  PET MPI agents will have a significant impact on cardiac imaging in the near future

This new technology will enable absolute measurements of myocardial blood flow and will significantly improve patient care
