... not significant when CCTA revealed stenosis of ≥90% or SPECT revealed SSS ≥4. These results suggest an effective risk stratification strategy for sequential use of SPECT and CCTA, and maximizing the benefits in these patients. coronary artery disease multislice computed tomography prognosis single-photon...

... the association of EFV with coronary plaque vulnerability by using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods and results We enrolled 117 patients who underwent multislice computed tomography (MSCT) and OCT. EFV was quantified on MSCT. Patients were categorized according to tertiles of EFV: low tertile, EFV...

... to serve as a ‘filter’ before CA. Besides stress tests, noninvasive coronary angiography (NCA) based on multislice computed tomography (MSCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have emerged during the past 15 years. On the basis of several studies [ 2 , 3 ], latest recommendations [ 4 , 5 ] define...

... MI was defined on the basis of criteria of typical chest pain, elevated cardiac enzyme levels, and typical changes on the electrocardiogram. ²² In case of multiple events in a given patient, the first event was included in the analysis. Multislice computed tomography acquisition...

... patients. Despite a clinically useful sensitivity for the overall diagnosis of significant CAD, specificity is low. Thus, relevant decisions regarding the need of and suitability for possible revascularization procedures cannot be based on MSCT findings alone. Multislice computed tomography Coronary...

...European Society of Cardiology Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) is currently the preferred modality for diagnosis and complete characterization of aortic pathology because of its widespread availability, rapidity, excellent spatial resolution, and excellent accuracy for all aortic segments...
