Optimizing protocol efficiency in 18Fflurpiridaz positron emission tomography myocardial perfusion imaging through dose ratio–driven reduction of relative residual activity

Key Points

• Optimizing protocol efficiency significantly reduces relative residual activity in myocardial perfusion imaging.
• Using a dose ratio approach, the study demonstrates a 30% reduction in imaging inefficiencies.
• Analysis of positron emission tomography imaging data reveals improved outcomes through effective dose management.
• Implications suggest enhanced imaging protocols could improve patient outcomes and resource use.
