Through detection of increased glucose metabolism, PET can also be used to detect active inflammation in the myocardium. This can occur, for example, in myocarditis, sarcoidosis, or in case of infection of a valve prostheses in endocarditis. It is important that the patients follow a strict diet without consuming carbohydrates the days before examination. Please consult the information leaflet.
In selected cases, especially when examining myocarditis or sarcoidosis, it can be helpful to combine PET and cardiac MR, available at our clinic in Schlieren. This combination leads to increased diagnostic accuracy and the spectrum of clinical questions to be addressed is increased.
