Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ

The PET Viability Imaging is a Positron emission tomography (PET) viability imaging, which is used to further assess how much could the heart muscle could be damaged by heart attack or due to any heart disease.

This test is also used to determine whether the patient would be requiring angiography, any cardiac bypass surgery, the heart transplant or any other procedures.

There are known to be two parts to this viability test.

  • Firstly, the scan would be done to measure the resting blood flow in your heart. The radioactive tracer (that is rubidium-82 or ammonia-13) would be injected into the bloodstream and would be taken up by your heart.
  • The PET camera would then detect the radiation which is released by your tracer to produce the designated images.

 

  • Secondly, a different radioactive tracer would be used containing your glucose, with fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), which is injected in your body.
  • This tracer can be seen to be taken up by your heart.
  • Then, a second scan would be performed to demonstrate which parts of the heart would have been damaged. Resulting images further is based on how the different parts of the heart uses glucose—the sugar that is used by cells in the body for energy.
  • The Cells that could be damaged or even killed by the heart disease or any heart attack with the use of  little or even no glucose.
  • The healthy cells can be visualized here and the cells that could be further recovering from an injury that use more glucose.
