Abstract
- Estimation of myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2) and myocardial blood flow (MBF) is important for the understanding of various (patho)physiological mechanisms and diseases. Clearance rates of carbon-11 labelled acetate, determined with positron emission tomography, allow estimation of MVO2on a segmental level and non-invasively. In addition, MBF can be determined from uptake rates. In this review, the background to estimation of MVO2and MBF is discussed, as well as the currently available literature that has used 11C-acetate to estimate MVO2and MBF.
