This advance has become possible by the development of a high resultion gated scan positron emission tomographic (PET) scanner equipped with a real time decay correction mechanism, HEADTOME-IV. The information obtainable includes myocardial size and wall motion as well as the absolute quantity of blood flow in various myocardial regions. The technique is simple but requires continuous arterial blood withdrawal for calculation of the arterial input function time integral. The alternative to this technique, i.e. the computation of intra left ventricular blood pool activity by PET is also discussed.
