title: 18F-fluoromisonidazole (FMISO) PET may have the potential to detect cardiac sarcoidosis.
abstract: 18F-fluoromisonidazole (FMISO) is a positron emission tomography (PET) tracer that accumulates in hypoxic tissues. We here present a case of suspected cardiac sarcoidosis which was detected with increased FMISO uptake.
