New scan technology to identify early risk factors for a heart attack and cardiovascular disease
Dr Giannotti’s research aims to use the Ultra-High Sensitivity Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan to improve the assessment and diagnosis of high-risk atherosclerotic plaque responsible for cardiovascular events. It will allow functional whole-body imaging while exposing the patient to significantly less radiation and a shorter scan time.
