Article Figures & Data
Figures
- FIGURE 1.
Myocardial perfusion scan with normal findings. AC = attenuation-corrected; SDS = summed difference score; SRS = summed rest score; SSS = summed stress score.
- FIGURE 2.
Axial 18F-FDG PET/CT image showing intense uptake in left ventricular lateral wall and lesser septal uptake.
- FIGURE 3.
Whole-body 18F-FDG PET images obtained at 3-mo intervals, showing no extracardiac uptake. (A) Initial examination, with intense lateral wall uptake. (B) Improved findings in lateral wall but new basal–to–mid-septal uptake while patients was taking 40 mg of prednisone daily. (C) Persistent uptake in septal wall and new uptake in basal–to–mid-anterior wall while patient was taking 20 mg of prednisone daily.
- FIGURE 4.
Cardiac 18F-FDG PET metabolism at 3-mo intervals, including axial, horizontal long-axis, vertical long-axis, and bull’s-eye views that again show uptake pattern seen in Figure 3. FDGCTAC = CT attenuation-corrected 18F-FDG images; HLA = horizontal long axis; LAD = left anterior descending coronary artery; LCX = left circumflex coronary artery; RCA = right coronary artery; TOT = total; VLA = vertical long axis.
