BACKGROUND: Noninvasive assessment of coronary plaque is important for coronary risk
stratification. Whereas integrated backscatter intravascular ultrasound (IB-IVUS) has proven …

Coronary CT angiography (CTA) is increasingly used worldwide for direct, non-invasive
evaluation of the coronary arteries. Advances in computed tomography (CT) technology over …

Current Position of CCTA in Diagnosis of CAD and the studies were limited to experienced
centers. Nevertheless, a high NPV was found in most previous studies, especially in patients …

Semi-automated software can provide quantitative assessment of atherosclerotic plaques on
coronary CT angiography (CTA). The relationship between established qualitative high-risk …

Objectives: We evaluated the accuracy of contrast-enhanced multidetector spiral computed
tomography (MDCT) for the noninvasive detection and classification of coronary plaques …

Aims Previous studies have used semi-automated approaches for coronary plaque
quantification on multi-detector row computed tomography (CT), while an automated …

The process of coronary artery disease progression is infrequently visualized. Intravascular
ultrasound has been used to gain important insights but is invasive and therefore limited to …

Background Features of ruptured and high-risk plaque have been described on coronary
computed tomography angiography (coronary CTA), but not systematically assessed against …

Background To investigate the diagnostic performance of quantified plaque analysis and
high-risk plaque characterization by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) …

Objectives: This study sought to determine the accuracy of 3-dimensional, quantitative
measurements of coronary plaque by computed tomography angiography (CTA) against …
