Impact of residual subtraction on myocardial blood flow and reserve estimates from rapid dynamic PET protocols
13N-ammonia and 18F-flurpiridaz require longer delays between rest and stress studies to allow for decay, lowering clinical throughput. In this study, we investigated the impact of residual subtraction on MBF and...

Integrated myocardial flow reserve (iMFR) assessment: diffuse atherosclerosis and microvascular dysfunction are more strongly associated with mortality than focally impaired perfusion
Although treatment of ischemia-causing epicardial stenoses may improve symptoms of ischemia, current evidence does not suggest that revascularization improves survival. Conventional myocardial ischemia imaging...

Integrated myocardial flow reserve (iMFR) assessment: optimized PET blood flow quantification for diagnosis of coronary artery disease
Distinguishing obstructive epicardial coronary artery disease (CAD) from microvascular dysfunction and diffuse atherosclerosis would be of immense benefit clinically. However, quantitative measures of absolute...
