Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

CT angiography (CTA) offers a valuable alternative for the diagnosis of CAD but its value in the detection of functionally relevant coronary stenoses remains uncertain. We prospectively compared the accuracy of 64-slice CTA with that of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) using (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin-SPECT as the gold standard for the detection of functionally relevant coronary artery disease (CAD).
