Algorithms are able to compute myocardial blood flow (MBF) from dynamic PET data for
each of the 17 left ventricular segments, with global MBF obtained by averaging segmental …

Routine quantification of myocardial blood flow (MBF) requires robust and reproducible
processing of dynamic image series. The goal of this study was to evaluate the …

Background We evaluated the repeatability of the calculation of myocardial blood flow (MBF)
at rest and pharmacological stress, and calculated the coronary flow reserve (CFR) utilizing …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare myocardial blood flow (MBF) and
myocardial flow reserve (MFR) estimates from rubidium-82 positron emission tomography …

Abstract Purpose In clinical cardiac 82 Rb PET, globally impaired coronary flow reserve
(CFR) is a relevant marker for predicting short-term cardiovascular events. However, there …

1799 Objectives Routine quantitation of myocardial blood flow (MBF) and coronary flow
reserve (CFR) with PET has the potential to provide new clinically relevant data. However, to …

Background Several analysis software packages for myocardial blood flow (MBF)
quantification from cardiac PET studies exist, but they have not been compared using …

1768 Objectives 82 Rb PET imaging has been proposed for myocardial blood flow (MBF)
quantification, but there is limited data on the test-retest repeatability of this method. This …

Purpose Myocardial blood flow (MBF) estimation with 82 Rubidium (82 Rb) positron
emission tomography (PET) is technically difficult because of the high spillover between …

Background As clinical use of myocardial blood flow (MBF) increases, dynamic series are
becoming part of the typical workflow. The methods and parameters used to reconstruct …
