Can coronary computed tomography angiography replace invasive angiography? Coronary computed tomography angiography cannot replace invasive angiography.
O ne million patients undergo invasive coronary angiogra-phy (CA) in the United States every year. 1 In view of its invasive nature and related costs, noninvasive imaging of coronary imaging has the theoretical appeal to improve comfort for patients, reduce cost, and refine patient selection to limit invasive procedures to patients requiring treatment for ischemic coronary artery disease (CAD)....

In MR, apnea can be avoided using diaphragmatic navigators. S...
متن کامل[Non-invasive coronary angiography with 16 multidetector-row spiral computed tomography: a comparative study with invasive coronary angiography].
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Non-invasive coronary artery angiography by 16 multidetector-row spiral computed tomography is a novel diagnostic tool whose reliability is still unclear. The aim of our study was to compare this technique with invasive coronary angiography. PATIENTS AND METHOD A total of 31 selected patients were examined with both angiographic methods. Non-invasive studies were p...
متن کاملRobust Automatic Calcium Scoring for CT Coronary Angiography
Currently, an increased number of studies are being performed in order to evaluate the clinical value of calcium scoring on contrast enhanced computed tomography coronary angiography images. One major finding is the increased diagnosis time and manual effort required to accurately segment calcified lesions in the contrast enhanced data. In this paper, a novel approach for the fully automatic se...
