DSCT matches angiography for stenosis detection -- even in fast hearts
By Jerry Ingram
Dual-source CT (DSCT) offers diagnostic accuracy comparable to that of invasive coronary angiography when it comes to identifying significant coronary artery stenoses, according to researchers from Germany. To test whether DSCT could match angiography in accuracy, they examined patients with suspected coronary artery disease and found DSCT angiography offered high sensitivity for detecting stenosis.
