Comparison of Cardiac Computed Tomography for the Detection of Coronary Artery Disease With Nuclear Stress Test
Comparison of Cardiac Computed Tomography for the Detection of Coronary Artery Disease With Nuclear Stress Test

To compare the efficacy of 16-row multi-detector CT (MDCT) with standard myocardial perfusion imaging in detecting coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients without a previously established diagnosis of CAD.

Nuclear stress testing is currently the established non-invasive modality in detecting flow-obstructing coronary artery disease (CAD).

Recently, multi-detector CT (MDCT) has emerged as a new modality that offers a non-invasive means to directly visualize coronary anatomy and any CAD. Studies have shown that MDCT has excellent sensitivity and a high negative predictive value in detecting significant CAD.

The purpose of this study is to compare MDCT with nuclear stress testing for detecting CAD in previously undiagnosed patients.
