  • Title: [Comparison of non-invasive electron-beam and multislice CT angiography efficacy for detection of coronary artery stenosis].
    Author: Ustiuzhanin DV, Veselova TN, Sinitsyn VE, Matchin IuG, Ternovoĭ SK.
    Journal: Ter Arkh; 2008; 80(4):12-5. PubMed ID: 18491573.
    Abstract:
    AIM: To compare diagnostic value of electron-beam CT (EBT) and multislice CT (MSCT) angiography in detection of coronary artery stenosis in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). MATERIAL AND METHODS: 140 CAD patients who had undergone EBT (n = 97) or 4-slice CT (n = 43) coronary angiography and conventional coronary angiography as a gold standard were included in the study. RESULTS: Sensitivity and specificity of EBT angiography in coronary stenosis detection (proximal and mid segments) were 86 and 97%, respectively. Sensitivity and specificity of MSCT angiography were 87 and 98%, respectively. 6 and 7% of coronary segments were excluded from the study because of bad image quality in EBT and MSCT groups, respectively. CONCLUSION: No significant difference was registered in diagnostic value of EBT and 4-slice MSCT angiography in coronary artery stenosis detection.
