the most useful indications for positron emission tomography include assessment of myocardial perfusion ( for which the diagnosis of coronary artery disease can be established with a sensitivity of 95 to 98 % and specificity of 99 to 100 % ) , assessment of the physiologic severity of coronary artery stenoses and the influence of interventions such as ptca or thrombolysis , myocardial infarct imaging , assessment of viability of reversibly injured or ischemic cells , assessment of regional or global left ventricular function and analysis of collateral flow .
