Cardiac PET-derived measurements of myocardial blood flow (MBF) and myocardial flow
reserve (MFR) are proven robust indexes of the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) …

There has been an evolutionary leap in SPECT imaging with the advent of camera systems
that use solid-state crystals and novel collimator designs configured specifically for cardiac …

Background PET/CT is the standard for quantitative assessments of myocardial blood flow
(MBF), but it requires short-lived-tracers, costly, and not widely available. SPECT with …

Background We measured myocardial blood flow (MBF) and perfusion reserve (MPR) by
dynamic CZT-SPECT and 82 Rb-PET in patients with suspected or known coronary artery …

Background The objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of global MBF and MFR
quantitation performed by myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) for the detection of …

Background With the appearance of cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) cameras, dynamic
myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) has been introduced, but comparable data to other MPI …

Myocardial blood flow (MBF) and myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) assessment with non-
invasive techniques represent an important tool to evaluate both coronary artery disease …

It was reported that 3D echocardiography revealed a prevalence (3.3%) of a mitral leaflet
cleft in patients with unexplained significant mitral regurgitation, which 2-dimensional …

Dynamic acquisition allows absolute quantification of myocardial perfusion and flow reserve,
offering an alternative to overcome the potential limits of relative quantification, especially in …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the results of cadmium zinc telluride (CZT)-
single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial flow reserve (MFR) in …
