Fig. 2From: Static CT myocardial perfusion imaging: image quality, artifacts including distribution and diagnostic performance compared to 82Rb PETCT-MPI Rest-Stress visual analysis. CT-MPI in Rest (A–E) and Stress (F–J) in short axis, 2-chamber and 4-chamber multi-planar planes images with 5–7 mm slice thickness, display 200–300 HU window width and 100–150 HU window length. Perfusion defects on post dipyridamole stress CT-MPI in mid and apical anterior/anterolateral segments in a single patient (red arrows on G–J). The extent and severity of stress perfusion defect was scored as 1 for mid anterior segment, 2 mid anterolateral segment, 3 for apical anterior segment and 1 apical lateral segment. This corresponded to summed stress score of 7, summed rest score of 0 and sTPD 10%, iTPD 10%. TPD total perfusion deficitBack to article page
