Main Results:

Ultrafast CT provides superior anatomical detail of coronary arteries.
Positron Emission Tomography is the established gold standard for myocardial perfusion assessment.
Integrating anatomical and functional data is key for complete evaluation.

Conclusions:

A multi-modal imaging approach is ideal for comprehensive assessment of silent myocardial ischemia.
Ultrafast CT and PET are essential tools in the modern diagnostic armamentarium.
