Cardiac Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
View Images
Cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) uses radionuclide tracers to evaluate heart tissue functioning. It is especially useful for detecting the type of heart disease that reduces blood flow to the heart muscle. It is specific enough to identify injured, yet living heart muscle.
82 Cardiac Perfusion Imaging is known and recognized as a powerful tool in the assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD). The high sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of cardiac perfusion imaging can potentially reduce the costs associated with CAD by decreasing the need for more expensive and higher risk, invasive procedures.
CardioGen-82 is the only FDA approved generator-based perfusion agent reimbursed for the evaluation of CAD.

Testimonials
I want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone at Elite Imaging who made my visit such a positive experience. Everyone was kind, reassuring and efficient and we appreciated the great service and the way in which you went beyond the call of duty. Please give my kindest regards to everyone.
Thank you also for forwarding the results to my Doctor at University of Miami Hospital, Dr. Floriano Marchetti.
Dr. Gulec is a very delightful man and I am very glad for the opportunity to see him. I look forward to receiving his report. Needless to say I was overjoyed at his diagnosis.
Praise God for His mercy. May God bless you at all times.

I just wanted to thank you very, very much for the special VIP treatment you extended me during my visit. I really appreciated that you picked me up from the airport. That was really special! Both my doctors received the MRI report and hopefully I will soon be on the road to treatment and recovery. Thank you again for all your help and special attention.
