64-slice CT for diagnosis of coronary artery disease: a systematic review.

PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the accuracy of 64-slice CT coronary angiography for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. METHODS We attempted to identify all published trials in all languages that used 64-slice CT to diagnose coronary artery disease. Results of 64-slice CT coronary angiography were compared with invasive coronary angiography or intravascular ...

64-Slice spiral double-low CT to evaluate the degree of stenosis and plaque composition in diagnosing coronary artery disease

This study examined the application of 64-slice spiral double-low computed tomography (CT) to evaluate the degree of coronary artery stenosis. We examined 45 patients with coronary heart disease by 64-slice spiral double-low CT and coronary angiography (CAG) to determine CT accuracy in evaluating coronary artery stenosis. Imaging analysis from 64-slice spiral double-low CT identified 199 segmen...

Initial experience with 64-slice cardiac CT: non-invasive visualization of coronary artery bypass grafts.

AIMS The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy in the assessment of coronary artery bypass grafts using 64-slice computed tomography (CT) technology. METHODS AND RESULTS CT coronary angiography was performed for 96 bypasses in 31 patients with suspected coronary artery disease using a Siemens Sensation 64-slice CT-scanner and compared with invasive coronary angiography (IC...

Non-invasive coronary computed tomographic angiography for patients with suspected coronary artery disease: the Coronary Angiography by Computed Tomography with the Use of a Submillimeter resolution (CACTUS) trial.

BACKGROUND Non-invasive coronary angiography by multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) is a promising method for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the clinical role of this method has not been established for specific patient cohorts. Therefore, the objective of the current prospective, blinded study was to investigate the diagnostic value of coronary MSCT angiograp...

Non-invasive detection of coronary artery disease in patients with left bundle branch block using 64-slice computed tomography.

OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of 64-slice computed tomography (CT) to identify coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with complete left bundle branch block (LBBB). BACKGROUND Left bundle branch block increases risk of cardiac mortality, and prognosis is primarily determined by the underlying coronary disease. Non-invasive stress tests have limit...

Accuracy of MSCT coronary angiography with 64-slice technology: first experience.

AIMS The aim of our study was to investigate the accuracy of 64-slice computed tomography (CT) for assessing haemodynamically significant stenoses of coronary arteries. METHODS AND RESULTS CT angiography was performed in 67 patients (50 male, 17 female; mean age 60.1+/-10.5 years) with suspected coronary artery disease and compared with invasive coronary angiography. All vessels > or =1.5 mm ...
