Myocardial Blood Flow by 15O Water PET

February 21, 2019 updated by: University of Edinburgh

Validation of Computed Tomography Myocardial Perfusion Imaging Using Quantification of Myocardial Blood Flow by Positron Emission Tomography With 15O-water

Coronary heart disease is a very common condition caused by narrowings in the blood vessel supplying the heart. the investigators are studying new tests to diagnose heart disease. In this study the investigators plan to investigate a special scan called a PET/CT (Positron emission tomography/computed tomography) and a new type of CT (Computed tomography) scan to tell us about the flow of blood to the heart muscle.
