Journal: Journal of cardiovascular imaging
Published Date: Dec 24, 2019

Abstract

BACKGROUND: We evaluated whether lesion-specific measurement of myocardial blood flow (MBF) and flow reserve (MFR) by hybrid imaging of myocardial perfusion positron emission tomography (PET) and coronary computed tomography (CT) can provide additional diagnostic value.
