[15O]H2O-PET Imaging
This imaging technique will be used to measure myocardial blood flow (MBF) and myocardial blood flow reserve (MBFR) in patients. The PET-CT scan involves the use of the radioactive tracer \[15O\]H2O to visualize blood flow in the heart, providing crucial data on coronary microvascular function.
