Combining high-definition positron emission tomography (PET) and 'motion-frozen' technology provides enhanced cardiac images. The motion-frozen technology adds physiological details that were previously invisible to physicians, according to researchers at SNM's 56th Annual Meeting in Toronto. A new study of the combined technologies shows that the method provides exceptional PET image quality and can significantly change the diagnosis of patients with heart disease...
