Excerpt

Imagine if we could non-invasively, reliably, and quantitatively detect coronary atherosclerosis and coronary luminal narrowing early in the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). We could fundamentally change the way CAD is diagnosed and treated. Such non-invasive and quantitative imaging of CAD using computed tomography (CT) is increasingly becoming a clinical reality worldwide, based on evidence generated in a multidisciplinary manner. The two key areas in which evidence has accumulated are the high diagnostic accuracy of CT when compared with invasive coronary angiography (ICA) as the reference [1‐5] and improved patient outcomes using CT for comparative effectiveness in clinical trials [6‐8]. …
