The repeatability of rest and hyperemic myocardial blood flow (MBF) measurements using Rb-82 PET has not been evaluated. The aim of this study was to investigate the short-term repeatability of such measurements. Methods: Fifteen healthy volunteers underwent rest and pharmacologic stress Rb-82 PET, repeated 60 min apart. Results: There was no significant difference in repeated rest MBF (0.77 +/- 0.25 vs. 0.82 +/- 0.25 mL/min/g, P = 0.31; mean difference, 6.18% +/- 12.22%) or repeated hyperemic MBF (3.35 +/- 1.37 vs. 3.39 +/- 1.37 mL/min/g, P = 0.81; mean difference, 1.17% +/- 13.64%). The repeatability coefficients were 0.19 mL/min/g for rest MBF and 0.92 mL/min/g for hyperemia. Conclusion: MBF using Rb-82 is highly reproducible using a same-day short-term repeatability protocol. Serial MBF measurements with Rb-82 PET should have the ability to quantify the acute effects of therapeutic interventions on MBF.
