Patient motion quality assurance metrics for accurate myocardial blood flow quantification with rubidium-82 PET imaging

Conclusions: The variation of the LV blood-to-tissue spillover parameter, COV(FV), is most predictive of patient motion, providing a useful QA metric and indicator of the subsequent uncertainty in the compartment model-derived MBF estimates for Rb82 PET images.
