ObjectiveFDG PET/CT plays a significant role in the diagnosis of inflammatory heart diseases and cardiac tumors. We attempted to determine the optimal FDG uptake threshold for volume-based analyses and to evaluate the relationship between the myocardial physiological uptake volume in FDG PET and several clinical factors.MethodsA total of 190 patients were retrospectively analyzed. The cardiac metabolic volume (CMV) was defined as a volume within the boundary determined by a threshold (SUVmean of blood poolx1.5).ResultsThe SUVmean of the blood pool measured in the descending aorta (DA) (r=0.86, intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC]=0.93, P
