AB The  introduction  of  routine  absolute  myocardial  blood  flow  assessments  for  cardiac  PET  adds  unique  information  that  is  difficult,  if  not  impossible,  to  acquire  using  other  noninvasive  modalities.  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
