FDG-PET has been shown to be a useful imaging modality for the assessment of cardiovascular infection and inflammatory pathologies. However, interpretation of these studies can be challenging in light of the variability of physiological myocardial uptake and, occasionally, interpreter's lack of familiarity with the typical findings present in cardiac pathologies. In this article, we review established and emerging applications for cardiovascular infection and inflammation imaging with FDG-PET and present typical examples of representative pathologies.
氟代脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描（FDG-PET）已被证明是评估心血管感染和炎症性病变的一种有用的成像方式。然而，鉴于生理性心肌摄取的变异性，以及偶尔存在的解读人员对心脏病变典型表现缺乏熟悉度，对这些研究结果的解读可能具有挑战性。在本文中，我们回顾了FDG-PET在心血管感染和炎症成像方面已确立的及新出现的应用，并展示了代表性病变的典型实例。
