PURPOSE: Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) is a novel non-invasive test for
detection and analysis of coronary artery plaques. A systematic review was conducted of the …

Background Previous reports suggest that plaque may be characterized by the computed
tomography (CT) number, but there is not a comprehensive method for evaluating the gray …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of 64-MDCT with that of
intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for the identification and quantitative analysis of coronary …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of 64-slice
computed tomography (CT) coronary angiography in the quantification and characterization …

Aims To assess plaque characteristics by multi-detector computed tomography angiography
in patients with known coronary artery disease and to compare these findings with those …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to perform a head-to-head comparison of plaque
observations with multislice computed tomography (MSCT) to virtual histology intravascular …

Background The ability of 64-slice computed tomography (CT) angiography to differentiate
plaque types remains unclear. We evaluated whether the density of noncalcified coronary …

in Patients with non-ST-Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome: Comparison with Intravascular …

Objective To evaluate optimal methodology for quantitative plaque volume analysis by
coronary CT angiography (QCT). Methods Fifty-one coronary artery segments were …

OBJECTIVES: CT is a novel noninvasive test for detection and analysis of coronary artery
plaques. However, the ability of CT to detect and quantify coronary atherosclerotic plaque in …
