Study of Value of Cardiac PET Scans With or Without CT Angiography and/or Measurement of Coronary Flow Reserve

PET Myocardial Perfusion Imaging With CT Angiography and Measurement of Coronary Flow Reserve: A Prospective Study of Effectiveness, Impact on Patient Management, Prognostic Value, and Downstream Costs

How does PET myocardial perfusion imaging involving CT angiography and measurement of coronary flow reserve affect patient care.

The purpose of this research is to determine how PET myocardial perfusion imaging involving CT angiography and measurement of coronary flow reserve affects patient care. This research will also compare the effectiveness of these scans to other similar tests and compare the cost-effectiveness of these scans to other similar tests over time.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients referred to Kettering Medical Center for PET myocardial perfusion imaging with or without CTA and/or coronary flow reserve measurement.
• Patients over 18 years of age.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients who do not consent to participate.
