Figure 3.

Patient with absent perfusion and no evidence of metabolic activity in the apex and the apical segment of the anteroseptal region of the left ventricle by combined ⁸²Rb/¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT cardiac imaging. Slice review (A) and polar maps (B) indicate a match pattern that suggests the presence of necrotic myocardium. Analysis of tracer uptake is performed in 17 myocardial segments by use of a 5-point scoring system (from 0, normal uptake to 4, absence of detectable tracer uptake).
