| quantitative myocardial blood flow values obtained with PET/CT imaging. Quantitative myocardial perfusion images obtained with SPECT/CT. Quantification of the myocardial infarct size using MRI. Coronary artery stenosis severity obtained with invasive coronary angiography Fractional Flow Reserve values obtained during invasive coronary angiography Intracoronary Doppler Flow measurements Assessment of myocardial perfusion using thermodilution Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value will be calculated. In additional, a combined analyses of both PET/CT and CTCA as well as SPECT/CT and CTCA results will be performed to evaluate the surplus value of combined imaging. | — |
