A Timely Win for Nuclear Cardiology☢️❤️ The Journal of Nuclear Cardiology (JNC) just published practical guidance on how to make¹⁸F-flurpiridaz PET MPI work in the real world! This approach uses automated Total Perfusion Deficit (TPD) to standardize reads. Exactly what is needed as flurpiridaz rolls out to a wider market! Importance 🩺F-18 logistics, high first-pass extraction, and exercise-stress capability, make adoption safer and more reproducible. 🩺Pairing flurpiridaz with TPD brings consistency and confident day-to-day reporting. 🩺Provides a bridge from promising trial data to routine clinical practice.
