A Phase I Study to Evaluate BFPET as a Potential Myocardial Perfusion Imaging(MPI) Agent for PET

A Phase I Study to Evaluate the Safety, Biodistribution and Radiation Dosimetry of BFPET as a Potential Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI) Agent for PET

Safety and dosimetry of BFPET™ will be evaluated in healthy volunteers and Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) patients , male or female and of age ranging between 20-80 years old.

Study Procedures:

Visit 1: Screening - Eligibility determination

Visit 2 (within 14 days post screening): Injection of BFPET™ and PET Imaging

Visit 3 (within 24-48 hours post dose): Follow-up Visit
