DeCara, Patrick Coon, Victor Mor-Avi, Roberto M. Lang Abstract: Parametric imaging of myocardial perfusion provides useful visual information for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). We developed a technique for automated detection of perfusion defects based on quantitative analysis of parametric perfusion images and validated it against coronary angiography.
