abstract = {Background: Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMVD) is a common cause of ischemia with no obstructive coronary arteries (INOCAs), a condition previously considered benign but now recognized to confer an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance of T1 mapping and myocardial perfusion reserve index (MPRI) in detecting CMVD in patients with INOCA, with positron emission tomography (PET) serving as the reference standard.Methods: Sixty-six patients with INOCA (mean age 55±9 years; 50% female) were prospectively enrolled from August 2024 to February 2026 and underwent an integrated 3.0-T PET-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination. MRI-derived left ventricular function, native T1, postcontrast T1, extracellular volume (ECV), T2 mapping, and regadenoson stress/rest MPRI were obtained and compared between the CMVD group and the non-CMVD group. CMVD was defined as a PET-derived myocardial flow reserve (MFR) },
