## Purpose Parametric imaging of absolute myocardial blood flow (MBF) using [^15^O]H~2~O enables determination of MBF with high spatial resolution. The aim of this study was to develop a method for generating reproducible, high-quality and quantitative parametric MBF images with minimal user interv

## Abstract ## Purpose To determine with an intravascular contrast agent the relation between the rate of myocardial signal enhancement during the first pass (upslope) and myocardial blood flow (MBF), and to derive and validate a corrected perfusion reserve (PR) index from the upslope parameter.
## Background: This study compared coronary flow reserve (cfr) estimated by technetium 99m sestamibi imaging with the results obtained with intracoronary doppler in patients with coronary artery disease. intraobserver and interobserver reproducibility of the radionuclide-estimated cfr was also asse
