N2 - To investigate the potential role of cardiac PET/MRI, it is useful to consider the clinical and economical boundary conditions in cardiac imaging. Two factors have a large infl uence: Firstly, the overwhelming mainstay of nuclear cardiology is SPECT imaging. It is an easy-to-perform methodology with a high clinical utility, and considerable activities are ongoing to reduce the clinical examination times as well as exposition to ionizing radiation [ 1, 2 ].
