Description: Radiotherapy for the treatment of left-sided breast cancer increases the long-term risk of cardiovascular disease. The purpose of the present study was to noninvasively image the progression of radiation-induced cardiac inflammation in a large animal model using a hybrid PET and MRI system. Five canines were imaged using [ F]fluorodeoxyglucose PET to assess changes in myocardial inflammation. All animals were imaged at baseline, 1 wk, and 1, 3, 6, and 12 mo after focused cardiac external beam irradiation with image guidance. Radiation was delivered in a single fraction. The linear quadratic model was used to convert a typical multifractionated heart dose to a corrected single-fraction biologically equivalent dose. Immunohistochemistry was performed on excised left ventricular tissue samples from all five irradiated canines and one nonirradiated control canine to confirm the presence of inflammation. The mean doses delivered to the entire heart, left ventricle, left anterior descending artery, and left circumflex artery were 1.7 ± 0.2, 2.7 ± 0.2, 5.5 ± 0.9, and 1.1 ± 0.4 Gy, respectively. FDG standard uptake values remained persistently elevated compared with baseline (1.1 ± 0.03 vs. 2.6 ± 0.19, P < 0.05). The presence of myocardial inflammation was confirmed histologically and correlated with myocardial dose. This study suggests a global inflammatory response that is persistent up to 12 mo postirradiation. Inflammation PET imaging should be considered in future clinical studies to monitor the early changes in cardiac function that may play a role in the ultimate development of radiation-induced cardiac toxicity. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Using advanced cardiac PET imaging, we have shown the spatial and quantitative relationship between radiation dose deposition and temporal changes in inflammation. We have shown that the progression of radiation-induced cardiac inflammation is immediate and does not subside for up to 1 yr after radiation. Results are presented in a large animal model that closely resembles the size and vessel architecture of humans. The proposed imaging protocol can be easily replicated for clinical use.
