Coronary function versus anatomy, flow versus stenosis: which optimizes coronary artery
disease (CAD) management? In patients, coronary flow is poorly related to stenosis severity …

The noninvasive diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) is a challenging task. Although
a large armamentarium of imaging modalities is available to evaluate the functional …

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death in Europe (5 million deaths
per year) at a cost of e196 billion in 2009. 1 Imaging techniques such as computed …

Objectives: We sought to quantify ranges of normal myocardial perfusion and flow reserve in
young, asymptomatic volunteers after systematic historical and laboratory screening for …

Objectives: This study compared the clinical implications of quantifying myocardial perfusion
among different potential arterial input sites: the high (HAo) and basal (BAo) ascending …

Background We aimed to evaluate the utility of fully automated software registration
intended to improve CT attenuation correction (CTAC) map misalignments during cardiac 82 …

PET/CT is an effective tool for the diagnosis, staging and restaging of cancer patients. It
combines the complementary information of functional PET images and anatomical CT …

This study describes an [11C] acetate rest–stress method to obtain an indirect estimate of
myocardial blood flow (MBF) and myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2) in rats …

Previously, we proposed using an interpolated average CT (IACT) method for attenuation
correction (AC) in positron emission tomography (PET), which is a good, low-dose …

Background Quantitative myocardial PET perfusion imaging requires partial volume
corrections. Methods Patients underwent ECG-gated, rest-dipyridamole, myocardial …
