Video Summary
Azimullah Akram from Houston Methodist discusses the interpretation of PET scans through case reviews. He emphasizes the importance of evaluating image quality and using various imaging techniques, such as static, gated, CT, and dynamic imaging, to identify perfusion defects, wall motion abnormalities, and coronary calcifications. Two cases are presented: a 70-year-old male with a large perfusion defect and severe ischemia in the RCA territory, and a 59-year-old male with moderate ischemia and less significant calcification. The discussion highlights using new FDA-approved tracers like F18 floperidaz for assessing cardiac conditions.
