В настоящей статье проанализированы литературные источники, посвященные изучению патологии коронарного кровообращения при сердечно-сосудистых заболеваниях на основании результатов позитронной эмиссионной томографии (ПЭТ) как самостоятельной процедуры и в составе гибридных систем ПЭТ/КТ и ПЭТ/МРТ. Приведены сведения об инновациях в области создания алгоритмов реконструкции ПЭТ изображений. Использование совмещенных диагностических систем позволяет в рамках одного исследования изучить анатомию венечных артерий, оценить гемодинамическую значимость коронарного атеросклероза, сократительную функцию сердца, а также структурное состояние сердечной мышцы и клапанов.

This article summarizes data of the studies of myocardial blood flow and coronary flow reserve measurement in the patients with cardiovascular pathology using positron emission tomography (PET) as stand alone technique and as the part of the hybrid systems: PET/CT and PET/MRI. It was given an information, concerning the innovations in PET imaging reconstruction algorithms. Hybrid imaging systems provides an opportunity for advances imaging combining anatomical, physiological, and functional information.
