The debate on the role of anatomy and function in the assessment of coronary artery disease has been progressing for decades. While each imaging modality brings its own strengths and weaknesses, a multimodality image fusion approach combining an anatomical acquisition with a functional one has the potential of providing all the complementary information necessary to select the proper treatment. The technology has been available to physicians for a decade, but the recent introduction of positron emission tomography-derived absolute myocardial blood flow has further advanced the case for an image fusion diagnostic approach.
