Coronary CTA much improved with newer scanners
By Eric Barnes
A meta-analysis of cardiac CT angiography study results has concluded that more CT detector rows do in fact produce more-diagnostic exams with fewer nonassessable segments. Researchers from Belgium and the Netherlands zeroed in on 54 carefully reported papers documenting four-, 16-, and 64-slice studies, to conclude that CTA has improved markedly since four-slice CTA was introduced a decade ago.
