Abstract
Positron emission tomography (PET) permits the noninvasive quantification of myocardial blood flow (MBF). Myocardial flow reserve (MFR), calculated by dividing stress MBF by rest MBF is a reliable index for the functional information of coronary artery disease. A pressure-derived physiological index, such as fractional flow reserve (FFR) is also an important measurement. Both MFR and FFR values are used to evaluate coronary physiology; however, but they are not interchangeable because each test has certain discrepancies. In this systematic review, we provide an overview of coronary physiology with PET compared to pressure-derived physiological indices.
