Area of Science:
- Nuclear medicine
- Cardiology
- Radiopharmaceutical imaging
Background:
- Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) diagnosis relies on timely detection.
- Assessing the efficacy of revascularization therapy is crucial for patient outcomes.
- Novel imaging agents are needed to improve diagnostic accuracy and speed.
