Subendocardial quantification enhances coronary artery disease detection in 18F-flurpiridaz PET
Subendocardial analysis of ischemic perfusion improves the detection of CAD compared to transmural quantitative analysis or expert visual reading. These measures can be derived automatically with minimal user interaction. Integrating TPD quantitative measures could standardize the diagnostic approach for this novel tracer.
