Diagnostic performance of hyperaemic myocardial blood flow index obtained by dynamic computed tomography: does it predict functionally significant coronary lesions?

Abstract

In this proof-of-principle study, the MBF index performed better than visual CTCA and QCT in the identification of functionally significant coronary lesions. The MBF index had additional value beyond CTCA anatomy in intermediate coronary lesions. This may have a potential to support patient management.
