SUV changes of 18F-FDG uptake on dual-time-point imaging. All coronary territories with abnormal 18F-FDG uptake show an increase in SUVmyo on exercise imaging (a). Contrarily, only 44.6% of coronaries with normal 18F-FDG uptake show increased uptake (b). Therefore, the increment in territories with abnormal 18F-FDG uptake is significant higher than that in normal territories (c). The SUVblood consistently decreases from rest to exercise imaging in patients with abnormal (d) and normal 18F-FDG uptake (e), and the reduction is similar between the two groups (f). As a result, although both abnormal and normal territories show an increase in SUVmyo/SUVblood (g, h), the increment is higher in territories with abnormal 18F-FDG uptake (i)
