The Diagnostic Accuracy of 64-Detector Cardiac Computed Tomography Compared With Stress Nuclear Imaging in Patients Undergoing Invasive Cardiac Catheterization

Abstract

Compared with MPI, CTA provided important information and identified significant lesions in symptomatic intermediate- to high-risk patients. Cost-effective and prospective multicentered studies, currently underway, are needed to further establish the best use of these diagnostic tests in the evaluation of coronary artery disease.
