Abstract

Novel 320-slice multislice CT angiography as a gatekeeper for invasive coronary angiography

Author(s): FR de Graaf, JD Schuijf, JE van Velzen & JJ Bax

“While diagnostic accuracy of 320‑slice CTA will most likely be similar to 64‑slice systems, the main advantages of this technique are decreased scan time, contrast administration and radiation dose. Furthermore, volumetric scanning allows for CTA in conjunction with myocardial perfusion imaging in a single examination and heart beat.”
