CORE320: CTA-CTP matches SPECT for gauging cardiac disease

By Eric Barnes

The accuracy of 320-detector-row coronary CT angiography (CTA) combined with CT perfusion (CTP) is equivalent to that of SPECT myocardial perfusion for diagnosing functionally significant coronary artery disease, according to results of the prospective, multicenter, international CORE320 trial published in the European Heart Journal.

Iterative recon delivers quality CCTA at well under 1 mSv

By Eric Barnes

Researchers from China and the U.S. have succeeded in producing ultralow-dose coronary CT angiography (CCTA) exams in a wide range of patients using iterative reconstruction. In the process, they've helped redefine low-dose CCTA to mean far less than 1 mSv in all patients, according to study results published in JACC Cardiovascular Imaging.
