In this issue of the Journal of Nuclear Cardiology, Poitrasson-Riviere et al propose that automated motion correction followed by technologist manual adjustment reduces inter-user variability in the assessment of positron-emission tomography (PET)-derived absolute myocardial blood flow (MBF) and myocardial flow reserve (MFR). 1 We will highlight the importance of PET MFR assessment, provide an overview of issues related to motion and suggested corrections, discuss essential features of the article, and propose future directions.Coronary vasodilator function in patients with or without epicardial coronary artery disease (CAD) has been demonstrated to carry significant incremental and independent prognostic significance, 2 with correct reclassification of* 1/3 of intermediate-risk patients into low-and high-risk cardiovascular mortality groups. 3 A similar strong improvement in prognosis has been determined in key subgroup analyses. For example, among diabetic patients without significant epicardial CAD, impaired MFR was associated with mortality rates comparable to those with prior CAD. 4 Conversely, diabetics with preserved MFR have event rates comparable to those of nondiabetics. 4 Similar observations
