Images from 64-row detector CTP. A, Partially reversible perfusion deficit in the territory of the LAD and a primarily fixed perfusion deficit in the inferior wall on radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging with increased subdiaphragmatic tracer uptake (stress, upper panels; rest, lower panels). B and C, Adenosine stress CTP shows a dense perfusion deficit in the LAD territory, as well as a subendocardial perfusion deficit in the inferior and lateral walls. D, Invasive coronary angiogram demonstrates a left-dominant system with a totally occluded LAD (black arrow) as well as intermediate and high-grade stenoses in a large ramus intermedius, the body of the left circumflex, an the ostium of the obtuse marginal artery (white arrows).

Conclusions— The combination of CTA and CTP can detect atherosclerosis causing perfusion abnormalities when compared with the combination of quantitative coronary angiography and SPECT.
