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.

Coronary computed tomographic angiography (CTA) is increasingly being used to assess patients with stable chest pain because it has high sensitivity and specificity for the detection of coronary ...

Coronary artery computed tomography (CT) angiography (CTA) is a non-invasive technology that can directly image coronary artery anatomy, while decreasing some of the risks associated with an ...

Coronary CT angiography — a.k.a. coronary CTA or cardiac CT — is a relatively new way to image the coronary arteries. This exam is not only quick and now readily available, but quite accurate.

A total of 56% of patients had obstructive coronary artery disease. The patient-based diagnostic accuracy of quantitative CT angiography for detecting or ruling out stenoses of 50% or more ...

November 28, 2007 (Chicago, IL) - Another multicenter study has confirmed the diagnostic accuracy of CT angiography (CTA), as compared with standard coronary angiography, this time in an ...

Surprisingly, stress test results did not independently predict obstructive CAD on CTA. Among the 621 patients who underwent invasive angiography, there was a strong correlation between the ...

In patients with suspected angina due to coronary heart disease, the greater diagnostic certainty achieved with coronary CT angiography (CTA) versus stress testing results in more appropriate use of ...
