Abstract
- Recently the incidence of inflammatory and infiltrative heart diseases is increasing in Korea. Cardiac PET/CT is a useful technology evaluating inflammatory and infiltrative heart diseases. This study analyzed trends in the use of cardiac PET/CT for evaluating inflammatory and infiltrative heart diseases in the Chonnam National University Hospital and Chonnam National University Hwasun Hospital. The general trend in Korea was also assessed based on the domestic nuclear medicine database. There was a common increasing trend in the number of F-18 FDG PET/CT for the evaluation of inflammatory and infiltrative heart diseases. A representative case with cardiac sarcoidosis is illustrated.
