From: Dual-time-point myocardial 18F-FDG imaging in the detection of coronary artery disease
Images of a 39-year-old man. He had a 70% stenosis in the LAD and a 90% stenosis in the diagonal branch, a 100% stenosis in the LCX, and a 90% stenosis in the proximal RCA. Perfusion images show reversible defects in the lateral wall (red arrows). Resting 18F-FDG images indicate background uptake in the cardiac cavities and no visible uptake in the left ventricular wall (‘none’ pattern), exercise 18F-FDG images exhibit intense uptake in the lateral wall (‘focal’ pattern, yellow arrows) which is in accordance with exercise perfusion images
