Abstract

Following an acute coronary syndrome, combined CT and PET with 18F-NaF can identify coronary atherosclerotic plaques that have ruptured or eroded. However, the processes behind 18F-NaF uptake in vulnerable plaques remain unclear. Ten patients with STEMI were scanned after 18F-NaF injection, for 75 minutes in a Siemens PET/MR scanner using delayed enhancement (LGE). They were then scanned in a Siemens PET/CT scanner for 10 minutes. Tissue-to-background ratio (TBR) was compared between the culprit lesion in the IRA and remote non-culprit lesions in an effort to independently validate prior studies. Additionally, we performed a proof-of-principle study comparing TBR in scar tissue and remote myocardium using LGE images and PET/MR or PET/CT data. From the 33 coronary lesions detected on PET/CT, TBRs for culprit lesions were higher than for non-culprit lesions (TBR = 2.11 ± 0.45 vs 1.46 ± 0.48; P < 0.001). Interestingly, the TBR measured on the PET/CT was higher for infarcted myocardium than for remote myocardium (TBR = 0.81 ± 0.10 vs 0.71 ± 0.05; P = 0.003). These results were confirmed using the PET/MR data (TBR = 0.81 ± 0.10 for scar, TBR = 0.71 ± 0.06 for healthy myocardium, P = 0.03). We confirmed the potential of 18F-NaF PET/C...Continue Reading
