Abstract: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) can accurately rule out obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), but functional evaluation is recommended before revascularization. In our center, hybrid imaging with CCTA followed by selective assessment of absolute stress myocardial blood flow (MBF
