After attending this educational presentation the participant should: 1. Have an understanding of the physiological background of dynamic myocardial perfusion CT and the quantification of absolute myocardial blood flow. 2. Be able to perform a myocardial CT perfusion scan, including patient preparation, scan protocol and adenosine stress infusion protocol and post-processing 3. Be able to analyze and evaluate myocardial perfusion images and calculate the absolute myocardial bloodflow  

1. Principles of myocardial perfusion CT and absolute quantification of myocardial blood flow 2. CT acquistion: patient preparation contrast agent injection protocol adenosine stress infusion protocol scan parameters and protocol delayed enhancement CT imaging post processing 3. Practical implications of 3rd generation dual-source CT in terms of tube voltage, coverage, and dose 4. Analyze (absolute) myocardial blood flow data 5. Image analysis using 16-segment AHA-model 6. Potential artefacts and diagnostic pitfalls 7. Case examples
