Article Abstract
Myocardial perfusion imaging by nuclear cardiology is widely validated for the diagnosis, risk stratification, and management of patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease. Numerous radiopharmaceuticals are available for single-photon emission computed tomography and PET modalities. Each tracer shows advantages and limitations that should be taken into account in performing an imaging examination. This review aimed to summarize the state-of-the-art radiotracers used for myocardial perfusion imaging and blood flow quantification, highlighting the new technologic advances and promising possible applications.
