FIGURE 4. Histogram of average blood flow data obtained from measurements made with ¹⁵O-water and ¹¹C-acetate using individual values of F_MM. Both in healthy volunteers and in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy, use of subject-specific F_MM yielded myocardial blood flow (MBF) estimates comparable with those obtained with ¹⁵O-water.
