The PET scans were processed using QPET software (Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA), while the CT scans were processed using deep learning (DL) to detect coronary artery calcium (CAC). Patients were followed up for the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), which include death, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, and late revascularization (&gt;90 days from PET).<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The REFINE PET registry currently contains data for 35,588 patients from 14 sites, with additional patient data and sites anticipated. Comprehensive clinical data (including demographics, medical history, and stress test results) were integrated with more than 2200 imaging variables across 42 categories. The registry is poised to address a broad range of clinical questions, supported by correlating invasive angiography (within 6 months of MPI) in 5972 patients and a total of 9252 major adverse cardiovascular events during a median follow-up of 4.2 years.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n
