Figure 5 Analysis of fixed perfusion defects by positron emission tomography (PET). A desired specificity of 90% defines a lower threshold of 4.5 mV for PET and 6 mV for single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Thus, the unipolar voltage can differentiate between viable and non-viable fixed perfusion defects.
