Medicare Coverage Policy for Rb-82 and N-13 ammonia
PET whether at rest alone, or rest with stress, is approved when PET is
• performed in place of SPECT, or
• used following SPECT when results are equivocal, technically uninterpretable, or discordant with clinical care
SPECT may not be used following an inconclusive PET

PET Perfusion Agents
•Rb-82 Chloride and N-13 ammonia are both extractable agents which passively diffuse across cell membranes
•Both tracers have high first-pass myocardial extraction fractions, which are inversely related to flow is a non-linear manner.

Coronary arteriography:•LAD: 60% ostial and 80% mid vessel stenoses•LCX: 90% proximal stenosis and occluded OM•RCA: 90% ostial stenosis
![Page 34: George Segall, M.D. Stanford University PET Myocardial Perfusion Imaging: Protocols and Procedures.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/551c0957550346ad4f8b501b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Summary
• PET myocardial perfusion protocols are simple and easy to incorporate in most practices
• Rb-82 and N-13 ammonia are qualitatively equivalent
![Page 35: George Segall, M.D. Stanford University PET Myocardial Perfusion Imaging: Protocols and Procedures.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/551c0957550346ad4f8b501b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Summary
• High throughput, and low cost per patient makes Rb-82 PET practical in a high volume practice
• NH3-ammonia PET is better suited for occasional use in patients with inconclusive SPECT, or as the test of choice in problematic patients
