Identificación del infarto agudo del miocardio mediante PET y CT multicorte

today non invasive cardiovascular imaging techniques exist, such as positron emission tomography (pet) and 16 multislice computed tomography (16-msct). with these studies, it is possible to evaluate the function and anatomy of the heart respectively. there is not enough information in the literature about the usefulness for 16-msct in the evaluation of infarcts. in this article, we show images of a patient who arrived to our institution and in whom it was possible to obtain important information with both imaging techniques. with the results, we obtained a good correlation of an infarctzone with pet and 16-msct. 16-msct is a good technique for observing infarcted zones of the heart. pet/ct is a non invasive cardiovascular imaging technique capable of giving enough anatomic and functional information.
