Value of multislice computed tomography coronary angiography in suspected coronary artery disease.
e read with great interest the recent study by Pundziute et al. (1) nd congratulate the investigators for demonstrating the utility of ultislice computed tomography (MSCT) findings in predicting oronary artery disease (CAD) events. In all patients, a coronary rtery noncontrast scan was performed to determine coronary rtery calcification (CAC) scores followed by contrast-enhanced omputed tomogra...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine the prognostic value of multislice computed tomography (MSCT) coronary angiography in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). BACKGROUND It is expected that MSCT will be used increasingly as an alternative imaging modality in the diagnosis of patients with suspected CAD. Data on the prognostic value of MSCT, however, are curren...

متن کاملCoronary artery angiography using multislice computed tomography images.
Multislice CT scanners are the newest class of CT scanners and they have not one but many detectors. These scanners can acquire up to 4 slices of data from the body in the same time it takes a single-slice CT scanner to acquire one. Multislice CT allows for rapid cardiac imaging during a single breath-hold. A multislice scanner operated in helical mode provides information that can be used to r...
متن کاملMultislice Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography: Prime Time?
Rev Esp Cardiol. 2005;58(11):1253-7 1253 Multi-Slice Computed Tomography (MSCT) coronary angiography is emerging as a non-invasive clinically reliable diagnostic tool to detect significant (luminal diameter > 50%) coronary stenosis. The diagnostic accuracy of MSCT is high, but at this point in time, MSCT coronary angiography should be regarded mainly as a research tool and in selected patients ...
