Quantitative low-dose rest and stress CT myocardial perfusion imaging with a whole-heart coverage scanner improves functional assessment of coronary artery disease

Objective: We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of myocardial blood flow (MBF) and perfusion reserve (MPR) measured from low-dose dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) imaging with a whole-heart coverage CT scanner for detecting functionally significant coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: Twenty one p...
