Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare myocardial blood flow (MBF) and myocardial flow reserve (MFR) estimates from rubidium-82 positron emission tomography (82Rb PET) data using 10 software packages (SPs) based on 8 tracer kinetic models. It is unknown how MBF and MFR values from existing SPs agree for 82Rb PET. Rest and stress 82Rb PET scans of 48 patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease were analyzed in 10 centers. Each...
