Aim of the study • To determine the diagnostic value, in a true head-to-head fashion, of CCTA, SPECT and PET imaging compared against Fractional Flow Reserve • To assess whether cardiac hybrid imaging has an incremental diagnostic value over stand- alone imaging

Conclusion • This first prospective head-to-head comparative trial revealed PET to exhibit the highest accuracy for diagnosis of myocardial ischemia in patients with an intermediate pre-test likelihood • A combined anatomical and functional assessment does not add incremental diagnostic value and guides clinical decision-making in an unsalutary fashion
