FDG-PET Showing Viable Myocardium

FDG-PET Showing Viable Myocardium

Decreased myocardial perfusion of the interventricular septum (green arrows), inferior (red arrows) and apical (blue arrow) walls at rest (left) in the setting of intact fluorine-18–labeled deoxyglucose (FDG) uptake on viability PET-CT scan (right). This is consistent with hibernating (viable) myocardium (yellow arrow), which is not receiving adequate blood flow.
