Toshiba America Medical Systems of Tustin, CA, has completed patient enrollment in its Coronary Evaluation on 64 (CorE 64) study on the use of 64-slice CT for coronary angiography.

The study is taking place at institutions in seven countries, and has completed enrollment of its 400th patient. The goal of the study is to investigate the use of multislice CT as the primary diagnostic tool for detecting cardiovascular diseases and disorders, as an alternative to cardiac catheterization.

CorE 64 is specifically focusing on patients who are 50% to 70% stenotic, which Toshiba believes will produce statistically significant data.
