Invasive or non-invasive imaging for detecting high-risk coronary lesions?
INTRODUCTION Advances in our understanding about atherosclerotic evolution have enabled us to identify specific plaque characteristics that are associated with coronary plaque vulnerability and cardiovascular events. With constant improvements in signal and image processing an arsenal of invasive and non-invasive imaging modalities have been developed that are capable of identifying these featu...
متن کاملNon-invasive coronary imaging: computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging?
Non-invasive coronary imaging has recently seen a rapid expansion of interest, fuelled largely by technical advances in both computed tomography (CT) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). The race is on for these two modalities to provide routine and robust imaging of coronary arteries in clinical practice. The rate of this progress has inevitably provided a bewildering array of develop...

Correspondence to: Pim J de Feyter, MD, PhD, Erasmus Medical Center, Department of Cardiology and Radiology, Thoraxcenter Bd 410, PO Box 2040, 3000 CA Rotterdam, The Netherlands; [email protected] _________________________ M ultislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) coronary angiography is a promising noninvasive technique for the detection of coronary stenoses. The advent of the tech...
متن کاملInvasive coronary physiology for assessing intermediate lesions.
A therosclerotic coronary artery narrowings, which provoke myocardial ischemia are the most common cause of angina pectoris and lead to adverse cardiac events. 1 Removing the ischemic potential of a stenosis decreases symptoms and improves outcomes. 2 Invasive coronary angiography remains the primary method for identifying coronary artery stenoses, but its inability to diagnose lesions responsi...
متن کاملphotodynamic therapy – a non-invasive treatment modality for precancerous lesions
introduction: oral premalignant lesions are conditions having high potential tendency for transformation into malignancy. the use of a conservative and effective treatment modality is one of the best strategies for cancer prevention. photodynamic therapy (pdt) is a non-invasive method for topical and selective treatment of oral precancerous lesions. the present study was taken up to determine t...
