Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The main study endpoint is the validation of MPI-CT against the gold standard<br /><br>of 15O-water PET-CT.<br /><br>The main parameter we are going to measure is stress myocardial blood flow<br /><br>(MBF) and Myocardial Flow Reserve (MFR). Myocardial perfusion will be<br /><br>calculated quantitatively by a software as MBF in ml/g/min based on CT<br /><br>acquisitions. MBF is calculated on a per voxel basis by dividing the maximal<br /><br>slope of time-attenuation curve (TAC) by the area under the maximum arterial<br /><br>input function (AIF). The arterial input function is sampled from two regions<br /><br>of interest (ROI) placed separately in the descending aorta with every table<br /><br>position (cranial and caudal) and combined into one arterial input function.<br /><br>The MFR is calculated as a ration of stress MBF to rest MBF.<br /><br><br /><br>MBF=(Max Slope TAC)/(Maximum AIF)<br /><br><br /><br>MFR = stress MBF / rest MBF</p><br>
