Radiofarmako Pet daam Kardiologi Nuklir (Pet Raiopharmaceuticals in Nuclear Cardiology)
Positron emission tomography (PET) is an imaging modality that allows quantification of the concentration of positron¬emitting in the human body through the measurement of annihilation photons. Various of invivo cardiovascular study using positron-emitting radiopharmaceutical administration could be done by PET, such as myocardial perfusion, metabolism, evaluation of cardiac innervation and myocardial molecular imaging. This review described PET radiopharmaceuticals which could be used in the cardiovascular system, including production of positron-emitting radionuclides by both cyclotron and generator, synthesis labelled compound and its purification, and quality control as well. Meanwhile, several radiopharmaceuticals that have been used in the field of cardiology were also described. Apparently, positron-emitting radiopharmaceuticals have a great potential to express and evaluate the change of cardiovascular function and biochemistry to cell and molecular levels.
