Recent years have seen remarkable advances in nuclear cardiology. The introduction of cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) and the development of cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) imaging systems have significantly improved diagnostic accuracy, clinical decision-making, and ultimately outcomes for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). In this issue, Giubbini and Milan review key concepts related to myocardial ischemia and explore the emerging importance of quantifying coronary flow reserve (CFR) in patients with known or suspected CAD. PET imaging has become a preeminent modality […]
