The diagnostic performance on a per-vessel-territory level of various non-invasive tests for the detection of a stenosis with a fractional flow reserve (FFR) < 0.80 (*except for FFR < 0.75 in Lockie et al.)

As the reported diagnostic performance of the various tests varies considerably across studies, several CTCA studies have been listed separately and a range is reported for MPI-MR. Abbreviations as for Table 1. CT-FFR = CT fractional flow reserve
