  • Title: Coronary artery: quantitative evaluation of normal diameter determined with electron-beam CT compared with cine coronary angiography initial experience.
    Author: Funabashi N, Kobayashi Y, Perlroth M, Rubin GD.
    Journal: Radiology; 2003 Jan; 226(1):263-71. PubMed ID: 12511700.
    Abstract:
    Eight male heart transplant recipients underwent contrast material-enhanced electron-beam computed tomographic angiography. Coronary artery diameters measured with fixed thresholds and adaptive line density profile (LDP) methods were calculated relative to findings at quantitative coronary angiography. Variation with fixed-threshold methods was significantly greater than that with LDP methods because of variations in vessel enhancement. Thus, more accurate measurements of vessel diameter were obtained with LDP methods.
