Abstract
PET/CT allows simultaneous assessment of focal myocardial 18F-FDG uptake and myocardial vessel calcifications. Patients with clinical suspicion of coronary artery disease have a higher incidence of focal myocardial 18F-FDG uptake and coronary calcifications. However, 18F-FDG focal uptake is often observed in sites remote from those with calcification.
