Key result
FDG PET/CT is a valuable imaging modality in non-perfusion cardiology, primarily for detecting inflammatory diseases of the heart and implantable devices, and rarely for neoplastic diseases.
Why the study?
FDG PET/CT is increasingly used in non-perfusion cardiology to detect inflammatory lesions of cardiac compartments or implantable materials and rarely neoplastic involvement.
FDG PET/CT provides crucial metabolic information that improves diagnostic accuracy for cardiovascular infections, such as prosthetic valve endocarditis and device infections, when conventional morphological imaging is inconclusive.
FDG-PET/CT supports vascular inflammation detection in angiology; leaves open standardized protocols and outcome impact in prospective studies.
PozitronovĂĄ emisnĂ tomografie kombinovanĂĄ s vĂ˝poÄetnĂ tomografiĂ (PET/CT) je zobrazovacĂ modalitou uĹžĂvanou pĹedevĹĄĂm v onkologickĂŠ diagnostice. NejÄastÄji pouĹžĂvanĂ˝m radiofarmakem je 2-deoxy-2-(18F)fluoro-D-glukĂłza (FDG). Vzhledem k nespecifickĂŠ povaze svĂŠ distribuce umoĹžĹuje uĹžitĂ i v diagnostice zĂĄnÄtu, kdy jejĂ zvýťenĂĄ akumulace reflektuje nĂĄrĹŻst metabolickĂŠho obratu v aktivovanĂ˝ch bunÄÄnĂ˝ch elementech zprostĹedkujĂcĂch zĂĄnÄtlivou reakci. V neperfuznĂ kardiologickĂŠ diagnostice se FDG PET/CT uplatĹuje pĹedevĹĄĂm pĹi detekci zĂĄnÄtlivĂ˝ch postiĹženĂ srdeÄnĂch kompartmentĹŻ, popĹ. implantabilnĂch materiĂĄlĹŻ. VzĂĄcnÄ mĹŻĹže pĹispÄt pĹi lokalizaci neoplastickĂŠho postiĹženĂ srdce. V pĹehledovĂŠm ÄlĂĄnku jsou prezentovĂĄny aktuĂĄlnĂ literĂĄrnĂ poznatky a zkuĹĄenosti z klinickĂŠ praxe.

David Zogala (2020) conducted a review in Cardiovascular inflammation and cardiac tumors. FDG PET/CT was evaluated. FDG PET/CT is a valuable imaging modality in non-perfusion cardiology, primarily for detecting inflammatory diseases of the heart and implantable devices, and rarely for neoplastic diseases.
