CMR Perfusion - gold standard


This was news on Auntminnie. I quote:

"Dynamic cardiac CT stress perfusion equivalent to MRI
By Eric Barnes, AuntMinnie.com staff writer

Cardiac MRI may be the gold standard for evaluating myocardial perfusion, but there's no reason CT can't eventually take over much of MRI's workload in patients suspected of coronary artery disease"

OK, it's a site dedicated to imaging but it is very good news to hear that CMR is being considered as the gold standard for perfusion. Very stimulating!
