Over the past two decades, there has been steadily growing interest in positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) as an alternative to single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) MPI for assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD). The feasibility of PET MPI has been enhanced by the availability of on-site rubidium (Rb) generators, eliminating the need for an on-site cyclotron.
