- Recent advancements in 64-channel multislice computed tomography (MSCT) have significantly enhanced the ability to noninvasively image coronary arteries, especially in patients with symptoms of coronary artery disease.
- A study involving 143 patients compared the accuracy of MSCT against traditional invasive coronary angiography, analyzing various performance metrics like sensitivity and specificity.
- The results indicated that MSCT demonstrates high diagnostic performance, with sensitivities reaching up to 96%, making it a reliable tool for assessing coronary artery disease in routine clinical practice, even in those with unstable angina symptoms.
