Quantification of absolute myocardial perfusion in patients with coronary artery disease: comparison between cardiovascular magnetic resonance and positron emission tomography
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare fully quantitative cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion and myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) measurements in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).BACKGROUND: Absolute quantification of myocardial perfusion and MPR with PET have proven diagnostic and prognostic roles in patients
