## Background: Positron emission tomography (pet) with inhaled oxygen 15-labeled carbon monoxide (co) is used as a marker of myocardial blood pool. only a limited number of studies with small numbers of patients have reported on the assessment of left ventricular (lv) volumes by use of o-15-labeled
