炎症对动脉粥样硬化血栓形成的重要性促使人们寻求无创成像方法来测量动脉壁内的炎症。有大量证据支持使用18 F-氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描(FDG-PET)成像来评估动脉粥样硬化斑块炎症。然而，由于存在一些技术障碍，这种技术的冠状动脉成像受到了限制。尽管如此，冠状动脉 FDG-PET 成像的早期经验还是令人鼓舞的。本综述概述了血管 PET 成像的发展及其在评估冠状动脉疾病方面的潜在用途。
The importance of inflammation to atherothrombosis has led to the pursuit of noninvasive imaging methods to measure inflammation within the arterial wall. There is substantial evidence supporting the use of18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) imaging for evaluation of atherosclerotic plaque inflammation. However, coronary imaging with this technique has been limited, due to several technical hurdles. Nonetheless, early experiences in coronary FDG-PET imaging have been encouraging. This review outlines the development of vascular PET imaging and its potential use for evaluation of coronary artery disease.
