Specifically, the assessment of absolute myocardial blood flow with cardiac PET improves the determination of normalcy,1,2 detection of multivessel disease,3 detection of balanced flow reduction,4 detection of microvascular disease,5 and risk stratification.6–8 These benefits can only be obtained if the quantitative values are accurate.9 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/29 UR - accesscardiology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1159184764 ER -
