PET MPR versus Myocardial BOLD Response in Canines with LAD Stenosis. Representative short-axis PET images showing myocardial blood flow (panel A) and myocardial T2 maps (panel C) acquired during adenosine infusion are shown. Hypoperfused territories are highlighted with arrows in both PET and BOLD images. Note the close correspondence between myocardial perfusion defects identified in the PET and BOLD images. MPR and BOLD Response between remote and affected territories are compared in panels B and D, respectively. MPR in the remote territory was significantly higher than MPR in the affected territories. Similar observations were made with myocardial BOLD response (panel D).
