🚨 The future of cardiac imaging is here — and it’s changing how we detect heart disease!
At Chicago Cardiology, we are proud to offer state-of-the-art technology to our patients because when it comes to your heart - clarity matters. That’s why Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is quickly becoming the preferred imaging technology for evaluating coronary artery disease.
Major clinical guidelines now recognize PET myocardial perfusion imaging with myocardial blood flow (MBF) quantification as a preferred test because of its superior diagnostic accuracy, risk assessment capabilities, and image quality.
💡 Why PET stands apart:
❤️ Detects heart disease earlier and with greater precision
📊 Provides powerful risk stratification to guide treatment decisions
🩺 Evaluates both large coronary arteries and microvascular disease
☢️ Offers lower radiation exposure compared to many traditional imaging approaches
PET is also considered the gold-standard, noninvasive method for measuring myocardial blood flow, giving cardiologists deeper insight to personalize care and improve outcomes.
👉 Don’t wait for symptoms to worsen. Advanced detection saves lives.
If you have chest pain, shortness of breath, or risk factors for heart disease, talk to your provider about whether PET imaging is right for you.
📞 Schedule your cardiac imaging today and take a proactive step toward protecting your heart.
