This scientific statement reviews the scientific data for cardiac computed tomography (CT)
related to imaging of coronary artery disease (CAD) and atherosclerosis. Cardiac CT is a CT …

As a consequence of improved technology, there is growing clinical interest in the use of
multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT) for non-invasive coronary angiography …

Objectives: To evaluate the feasibility of noninvasive assessment of the characteristics of
disrupted atherosclerotic plaques, the authors interrogated the culprit lesions in acute …

Since the early 1960s, selective x-ray coronary angiogra-phy has provided the only means
of visualizing the coronary arterial system in vivo. However, it has several disadvantages …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the physiologic significance of coronary
artery lesions with an integrated single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) …

intermediate-high), as evidenced by the high prevalence of obstructive CAD in these series
(62%; range 25% to 91%). In these series, results are generally limited to relatively large …

The purpose of this study was to test a large sample of different coronary artery stents using
four image reconstruction approaches with respect to lumen visualization, lumen …

Aims Pathological and clinical optical coherence tomography (OCT) studies have indicated
that acute coronary syndrome (ACS) lesions have either ruptured fibrous caps (RFC-ACS) or …

Recent developments in computed tomography technology have made imaging of the
coronary arteries possible. All the same, the rapid motion and small dimensions of the …

Aims We investigated the feasibility of assessing coronary artery stent restenosis using a
