Accuracy of computed tomographic angiography for stenosis quantification using quantitative coronary angiography or intravascular ultrasound as the gold standard.

13 Oct 2009 Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) is considered to have limited accuracy for quantifying exact percent diameter stenosis in coronary arteries. However, most studies evaluating CTA use quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) as the gold ... Read more...

Usefulness of carotid intima-media thickness in patients with diabetes mellitus as a predictor of coronary artery disease.

13 Oct 2009 Identification of asymptomatic patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) at increased risk for coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a challenge. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) has been proposed as a surrogate marker for CAD but only limited data ... Read more...

Flow-targeted inversion-prepared b-TFE coronary MR angiography: initial results in patients.

12 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: Visualization of coronary blood flow in the right and left coronary system in volunteers and patients by means of a modified inversion-prepared bright-blood coronary magnetic resonance angiography (cMRA) sequence. MATERIALS AND METHODS: ... Read more...
