Multislice CT Coronary Angiography in Evaluation of Coronary Artery Disease
The investigation and treatment of coronary disease impose a significant burden on health service resources. Catheter coronary angiography remains the gold standard for the investigation of suspected coronary disease. Given the invasive nature and high costs of invasive coronary angiography, there is an increased interest in noninvasive methods to image the lumen of the coronary arteries. Recen...
متن کاملComparison of coronary CT angiography with conventional coronary angiography in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease.
Noninvasive CT coronary angiography is a promising coronary imaging technique. In spite of the unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution and the inability to perform therapeutic interventions in the same session multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) has been considering a promising alternative, non invasive tool for coronary artery imaging due to its high sensitivity and specificity for...
متن کاملDecision analytic model for evaluation of suspected coronary disease with stress testing and coronary CT angiography.
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to apply a decision analytic model for the evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD) to define the optimal utilization of coronary computed tomographic angiography (cCTA) and stress testing. MATERIALS AND METHODS The model tested in this study assumes that CAD is evaluated with a stress test and/or cCTA and that a patient with positive eval...
متن کاملCoronary CT angiography in coronary artery disease: Opportunities and challenges
Coronary CT angiography is widely recognised as a reliable imaging modality for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Coronary CT angiography not only provides excellent visualisation of anatomical changes in the coronary artery with high diagnostic value in the detection of lumen stenosis or occlusion, but also offers quantitative characterisation of coronary plaque components. Furthermore...
