CAVi was defined as total coronary artery lumen volume over myocardial mass, both derived from CCTA. From PET-MPI, quantitative stress and rest myocardial blood flow (MBF) and myocardial flow reserve (MFR) were obtained and correlated with CAVi, and semi-quantitative perfusion images were analyzed for the presence of ischemia. Harrell\u2019s c-statistic and net reclassification improvement (NRI) analysis were performed to evaluate the incremental value of CAVi over the CCTA model (i.e., stenosis &gt; 50% and &gt; 70%).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>CAVi correlated moderately with stress MBF and MFR (<jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic> = 0.50, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001, and <jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic> = 0.39, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.002).
