Onsite FFR-CCTA detects coronary artery stenosis

By Abraham Kim

Sunday, November 26 | 11:15 a.m.-11:25 a.m. | SSA04-04 | Room S504ABIn this study, Dutch researchers used software to semiautomatically estimate fractional flow reserve (FFR) from coronary CT angiography (CCTA) images. They found that the technique increased the speed and accuracy of diagnosing stenosis in coronary arteries.
