Patterns of MBF and [18F]deoxyglucose uptake in idiopathic dilated (left) and ischemic cardiomyopathy (right) (see text). Short-axis images are shown. Note the homogeneous blood flow and glucose uptake in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (left) and the highly heterogeneous blood flow and glucose uptake in ischemic cardiomyopathy (center and right). Of the two patient examples of ischemic cardiomyopathy, one shows a "mismatch" (right) and the other one a "match." "mismatch" (right) and the other one a "match."
