Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The specificity of detecting significant coronary artery disease (as defined as being >70% stenosis, on coronary CT angiography)Up to 2 days

The primary objective is to compare PET vs. SPET, with the primary outcome being the specificity of detecting significant coronary artery disease (as defined as being \>70% stenosis, on coronary CT angiography).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evaluate any adverse events or reactions, during Rubidum-82 or Tc-MIBI administration.Up to 2 days
Evaluate any difference in the clinical interpretation of the Rubidium-82 PET and Tc-99m-MIBI SPET images.Up to 2 days
Evaluate any difference in "Percentage myocardium" that is hypoperfused, between Rubidium-82 PET and Tc-99m-MIBI SPET.Up to 2 days
Evaluate any difference in image quality, artefacts and interpretative confidence between Rubidium-82 PET and Tc-99m-MIBI SPET.Up to 2 days
