Quantitative myocardial perfusion 82Rb-PET assessed by hybrid PET/coronary CT: normal values and diagnostic performance

Conclusions: Normal sMBF, rMBF and MFR values are provided for 82Rb-PET based on normal CCTA. To detect patients with ischemia, global sMBF provided higher diagnostic accuracy than MFR. Using sMBF-threshold of 3.5 ml/mg/min on 82Rb-PET/CT yielded similar NPV (96%) as CCTA to rule out CAD. Hence, resting scan could be omitted in patients with sMBF values above reference.
