Why 13N-NH3
Cardiac PET imaging is known to provide better image quality than SPECT imaging, but the choice of radiotracer is also important.
Why 13N- Ammonia
The fast track to accurate diagnosis
13N-Ammonia is an effective diagnostic tool that improves patient management by
accurately detecting coronary artery disease (CAD) due to its short positron range, high sensitivity, and high first-pass extraction and retention properties in the myocardium. Increasingly preferred by leading cardiac imaging institutes, 13N-Ammonia is experiencing rapid adoption for cardiac PET imaging, as it provides diagnostic studies of consistently high-quality, regardless of patient size or gender.
Better quality images
Range of stress protocols including exercise testing
Improved prognostic and diagnostic accuracy
Lower radiation exposure
Quantitative assessment of myocardial blood flow (MBF)
Why PET
Cardiac PET (positron emission tomography) imaging is a fast-growing clinical tool endorsed by well recognized clinical guidelines and has demonstrated its high accuracy and precision.
