Lexiscan(TM) Rb-82 Myocardial Perfusion PET: A Comparison With Dipyridamole Stress

Lexiscan(TM) Rb-82 Myocardial Perfusion Positron Emission Computed Tomography: A Comparison With Dipyridamole

Lexiscan(TM) has ideal properties for Rb-82 PET imaging and the stress response it invokes may offer multiple advantages for the diagnosis of coronary disease and functional abnormalities. The goal of this investigation is to establish quantitative equivalence of Lexiscan(TM) rest/stress Rb-82 PET images to dipyridamole rest/stress images.

Inclusion Criteria:

Exclusion Criteria:

• BMI >35
• An intervention or change in management between dipyridamole and Lexiscan(TM) PET
