20 Cardiac Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Imaging Accurately Detects Anatomically and Functionally Significant Coronary Artery Disease Kajander S, et al. (Circulation. 2010;122: )

21 Cardiac Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Imaging Accurately Detects Anatomically and Functionally Significant Coronary Artery Disease A 69-year-old man with attacks of atypical anginal pain. A, CT showed significant LAD and RCA stenoses with only mild stenosis in the LCx. B, Hybrid images with normal stress PET perfusion (absolute scale, 0 to 3.5 ml g -1 min -1 ). Normal perfusion is >2.5 ml g -1 min -1 (yellow or red). C, ICA with quantitative analysis and FFR. Despite anatomically significant narrowing of the LAD and borderline changes in the RCA, FFR was normal in both vessels, indicating functionally nonsignificant disease. Kajander S, et al. (Circulation. 2010;122: )

22 Cardiac Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Imaging Accurately Detects Anatomically and Functionally Significant Coronary Artery Disease A 57-year-old man with atypical chest pain during exertion. A, CT reconstructions show significant stenoses in the LAD, RCA, and a small intermediate branch (IM). LCx was nonstenosed. Yellow dotted line denotes motion artifacts in the RCA. B, Hybrid volumerendered image. Stress myocardial perfusion was reduced only in the area supplied by the LAD. C, ICA with quantitative analysis showed significant 73% luminal narrowing in the LAD. Other vessels were not stenosed. Kajander S, et al. (Circulation. 2010;122: )

23 Cardiac Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Imaging Accurately Detects Anatomically and Functionally Significant Coronary Artery Disease A 63-year-old man with positive family history. Good performance, atypical chest pain, and 2-mm ST depression in the ECG at the exercise test. In hybrid images, stress myocardial perfusion was reduced in most regions (green and blue). However, both CT and ICA showed normal coronary arteries, indicating possible microvascular disease. Kajander S, et al. (Circulation. 2010;122: )
