Overview
Brief Summary
The overall goal of this project is to compare the absolute quantification of myocardial perfusion done by using CT myocardial perfusion imaging (CT-MPI) and the coronary flow measured by using CT Fractional Flow Reserve analysis (CT-FFR) to the gold standard represented by PET myocardial perfusion imaging (PET-MPI).
Detailed Description
Participants will be patients who are scheduled to undergo PET Myocardial Perfusion Imaging, which is the traditional method for evaluating patients with suspected blockages or narrowing of the heart vessels (coronary artery disease) causing impaired blood to flow to the heart muscle (myocardium). The purpose of the study is to determine and compare the newest heart imaging equipment which allows the non-invasive evaluation of coronary anatomy, coronary flow and myocardial perfusion in patients with suspected or proven coronary artery disease (CAD) with the actual gold-standard for quantitative myocardial perfusion assessment. In order to achieve this aim, the study team will compare heart scan results from a computed tomography (CT) Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (CT-MPI) scan and CT-Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) with the actual standard clinical care represented by a PET Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (PET-MPI) study.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Myocardial Blood Flow
Time Frame: Day of PET-MPI Scan, and Day of CT-MPI and CT-FFR Scans (up to 90 days)
The absolute quantification of myocardial perfusion between CT-MPI and PET-MPI is compared. Myocardial perfusion is quantified using appropriate tracer kinetic models resulting myocardial blood flow mL/g/min.
Specificity of Myocardial Perfusion Abnormalities Diagnosis
Time Frame: Day 1 (day of scans)
The accuracy of detection of myocardial perfusion abnormalities is compared between PET-MPI, CT-MPI, CCTA, and CT-FFR approach. Diagnostic accuracy using CT-MPI, CCTA and CT-FFR is calculated as specificity (true negatives) with PET as the reference standard.
Coronary Flow Per CT-FFR
Time Frame: Day of CT-MPI and CCTA scans
Coronary flow is measured using the CT-FFR calculation with the CCTA scans. CT-FFR measures blood flow through coronary arteries and is used clinically to quantify the severity of CAD to determine further interventions. CT-FFR is the ratio between the blood flow (BF) in a diseased artery and a normal artery. Clinically, the CT-FFR calculation is only useful in patients with intermediate stenosis because stenosis below intermediate results in a value that is near zero and the calculation cannot be performed when stenosis is complete. The normal range for CT-FFR is greater than 0.80, values of 0.76 to 0.80 are borderline while values of 0.75 or less are associated with a high likelihood of reduced blood flow (ischemia).
Sensitivity of Coronary Stenosis Diagnosis
Time Frame: Day 1 (day of scans)
The accuracy of detection of coronary stenosis is compared between PET-MPI, CT-MPI, and CCTA with CT-FFR approach. Diagnostic accuracy is calculated as sensitivity (true positives) with CCTA as the reference standard.
Sensitivity of Myocardial Perfusion Abnormalities Diagnosis
Time Frame: Day 1 (day of scans)
The accuracy of detection of myocardial perfusion abnormalities is compared between PET-MPI, CT-MPI, CCTA, and CT-FFR approach. Diagnostic accuracy using CT-MPI, CCTA and CT-FFR is calculated as sensitivity (true positives) with PET as the reference standard.
Area Under the Curve (AUC) for Detection of Myocardial Perfusion Abnormalities
Time Frame: Day 1 (day of scans)
The accuracy of detection of myocardial perfusion abnormalities is compared between PET-MPI, CT-MPI, CCTA, and CT-FFR approach. Diagnostic accuracy using CT-MPI, CCTA and CT-FFR is calculated as overall AUC with PET as the reference standard. The AUC examines the overall accuracy of a diagnostic test. Higher AUC indicates greater accuracy in detecting myocardial perfusion abnormalities with 1.0 being 100% accurate. An AUC value of 0.5 indicates that the test is as accurate as random chance.
