This Journal CME activity will discuss Splenic switch-off in [15O]H2O-positron emission tomography myocardial perfusion imaging using parametric blood flow images.

This activity is targeted at imaging professionals and is intended to provide the latest information on clinical practice and cutting-edge scientific advances in nuclear cardiology and cardiac imaging.

After reading and reflecting upon this article in the Journal Nuclear Cardiology, the learner should be able to:

1. Understand the importance of evaluating a sufficient stress response, especially in patients with three-vessel and small-vessel disease.
2. Know the options for indirect assessment of the stress response on PET MPI.
3. Understand the difference between visual and quantitative assessment of splenic switch-off.
4. Understand the concept of parametric images.

The purpose of this CME activity in the Journal of Nuclear Cardiology is to increase the learners’ competence in the application of nuclear cardiology strategies in clinical practice.
