Abstract
Early dynamic PET/CT is primarily used for oncologic perfusion studies. The purpose of this article is to show how the modality can be applied for angiography with data reconstructed in time-based frames for direct visualization of arterial vessels. Our initial data suggest that PET angiography can be used to establish patency and delineate relevant stenoses and occlusions. It therefore may be a useful complement to conventional angiography.
