Lunch Program: Use of Cardiac PET Imaging and Non-invasive Physiology in the Management of CAD patients in the catheterization lab-Case Based Studies
Sponsored by GE, Terumo and Medis
This symposium will explore cardiac Positron Emission Tomography (PET) as a highly accurate and non-invasive imaging modality for evaluating coronary artery disease (CAD) and gatekeeper to the catheterization laboratory. Compared to traditional methods like SPECT, PET offers superior spatial resolution, attenuation correction, and the ability to quantify myocardial blood flow (MBF) and myocardial flow reserve (MFR). Further, we will highlight the evolution and future of non-invasive coronary physiology, including the opportunities and persistent barriers in adopting physiology-guided PCI as well as advanced physiology-based strategies for lesion assessment and disease profiling, and how artificial intelligence and computational methods can drive broader integration and procedural efficiency in clinical practice.
