Diagnostic Accuracy of 64-Slice Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography

Diagnostic accuracy of coronary angiography using 64-slice computed tomography in coronary artery disease

OBJECTIVES To conduct a meta-analysis and investigate the diagnostic value of 64-slice computed tomography (CT) angiography for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients. METHODS A comprehensive literature search from March 2005 to August 2014 was performed on the following databases: Cochrane Library; Medline; EmBase; PubMed; and BioMed Central database. As a reference standard, s...

Diagnostic accuracy of noninvasive coronary angiography using 64-slice spiral computed tomography.

OBJECTIVES The aim of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of multislice computed tomography (MSCT) coronary angiography using a new 64-slice scanner. BACKGROUND The new 64-slice MSCT scanner has improved spatial resolution of 0.4 mm and a faster rotation time (330 ms) compared to prior MSCT scanners. METHODS We studied 70 consecutive patients undergoing elective invasive coron...

64-slice peripheral computed tomography angiography: a clinical accuracy evaluation.

Diagnostic accuracy of coronary in-stent restenosis using 64-slice computed tomography: comparison with invasive coronary angiography.

OBJECTIVES This study sought to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of coronary binary in-stent restenosis (ISR) with angiography using 64-slice multislice computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) compared with invasive coronary angiography (ICA). BACKGROUND A noninvasive detection of ISR would result in an easier and safer way to conduct patient follow-up. METHODS We performed CTCA in ...
