One scan, two measurements: new PET method could simplify heart imaging
NCT ID NCT06014515
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a single PET tracer (FDG) can measure both blood flow and sugar use in the heart, instead of needing two separate tracers. Researchers will compare results from FDG with a dedicated flow tracer in 60 healthy adults and people with heart disease. The goal is to simplify heart imaging and reduce the need for multiple injections.
