Cardiac computed tomography (cardiac CT) includes coronary CT angiography (CTA) as well as using CT technology to assess disease of the cardiac valves, aorta and pericardium. This examination requires ...

Ultrahigh-spatial-resolution photon-counting detector CT improved assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD), allowing for reclassification to a lower disease category in 54% of patients, according ...

CT coronary angiography (CTCA) was found to be safe and effective for evaluating coronary artery disease in patients with a low-to-intermediate pretest probability of the disease. It demonstrated a ...

Noninvasive imaging of the coronary arteries using multidetector CT (MDCT) represents one of the most promising diagnostic imaging advances in contemporary cardiology. This challenging application has ...

Both invasive coronary angiography and coronary CT angiography (CCTA) add incremental information over baseline characteristics when predicting risk in stable CAD patients, according to an ISCHEMIA ...

June 24, 2004 (Philadelphia) — A preliminary study on combined positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) of the heart showed that this noninvasive imaging tool works just as well ...

A new study found that a non-invasive, AI enabled Coronary Computer Tomography Angiography effectively identified stenosis equally well or better than the conventional gold standard of invasive ...

Long-term quality of life and symptoms are similar in patients with chest pain regardless of whether they’re first evaluated by computed tomography (CT) or by invasive coronary angiography (ICA), ...

For people with stable chest pain and an intermediate pretest probability of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), an initial CT strategy fared similarly to invasive coronary angiography (ICA) ...
