Role of quantitative and gated myocardial perfusion PET imaging
byAndrea de Guadalupe Monroy Gonzalez
1. Quantitative myocardial perfusion may not only allow to characterize the clinical manifestation of coronary artery disease but also to obtain prognostic information (Chapter 1).
2. Considering the clinical utilization of quantitative PET perfusion parameters, reproducible results are fundamental (Chapter 2).
3. Quantitative myocardial perfusion with PET can help clinicians to identify those patients who would benefit from a therapy aimed at preventing future cardiovascular events (Chapter 3 and 4).
4. Transluminal attenuation gradient is a simple method with similar diagnostic accuracy to visual assessment by computed tomography angiography for the diagnosis of ischemia (Chapter 5).
5. A better understanding of the complex determinants of PET mechanical synchrony holds promise in improving the assessment of patients with coronary artery disease and heart failure (Chapter 6 and 7).
6. ¨Science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated. ¨ Rosalind Franklin.
7. ¨Do not be afraid of hard work. Nothing worthwhile comes easily. ¨ Gertrude B. Elion.
8. ¨Learn to listen with your fingers. ¨ Helen B. Taussig.
9. Do what you are passionate about. Keep your goals clear and work toward them with patience & perseverance (encouraging #womeninscience).
10. ¨The question is, are there women and have there been women who want to do science and could be doing great science, but they never really got the opportunity? ¨ Vera Rubin.
