Table 2.

Different levels of spatial resolution considered for MBF calculation.

Resolution level Notation Total number of volumes Order of magnitude Description
Whole myocardium MBFmyo 1 100mL Organ scale. MBFmyo is calculated according to Eq. 11, where the entire myocardial volume is considered as the perfusion volume.
Main coronary arteries MBFtrees 3 35mL Each perfusion volume corresponds to the perfusion territory of each main coronary artery (RCA, LAD, LCX).
AHA segments MBFAHA 17 6mL Perfusion volumes correspond to AHA segments detailed in Ref. 6
Voxels MBFvoxels 1,000,000 10-4mL High resolution from cCTA, for characterization of MBF at the local level.
