Cardiovascular imaging
Clinical research is centered on coronary artery disease and the use of positron emission tomography to improve detection of clinically significant coronary narrowing in people with suspected disease.
- Myocardial perfusion imaging
- Coronary artery disease diagnosis
- Cardiac PET tracers
The sponsor’s work in this area focuses on imaging-based assessment of cardiac blood flow and ischemic heart disease.
Quantitative myocardial blood flow
Research activity includes absolute myocardial blood flow measurement and validation of PET-derived flow metrics for human cardiac imaging, with emphasis on quantitative analysis of perfusion.
- Dynamic PET imaging
- Flow quantification
- Reference flow comparison
This area supports the assessment of coronary circulation using quantitative imaging endpoints.
Radiotracer development
The sponsor is involved in the clinical evaluation of a novel fluorine-18-labelled imaging agent for cardiac PET applications in suspected coronary artery disease.
- 18F-labelled tracer
- Molecular imaging
- Diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals
Its research interest extends to imaging agents designed for clearer visualization of myocardial perfusion and coronary pathology.
