Acute STEMI patient with proximal LAD occlusion (red arrow) on angiography (a); subsequent ¹⁸F-NaF PET-CT imaging showing intense focal uptake in the culprit proximal LAD lesion (red arrow); (c) ¹⁸F-FDG PET-CT showing no uptake at the site of the culprit lesion (red arrow) with overlapping myocardial uptake of the culprit epicardial vessel; (d) Anterior NSTEMI patient with proximal LAD (red arrow) and LCx (white arrow) on angiography; focal intense uptake in only the culprit lesion (red arrow) on ¹⁸F-NaF PET-CT (e); and corollary ¹⁸F-FDG PET-CT showing no uptake in the culprit (LAD) or bystander (LCx) lesions (f) (reproduced with permission from Joshi et al.
