Abstract EN
The standard of reference for diagnosis of CAD is the conventional coronary angiography.
However its invasive nature necessitates a new non-invasive imaging modality.
MSCT coronary angiography is a new developing non-invasive technique in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease.
The aim of this study is to investigate the accuracy of 64-slice CT coronary angiography for assessing coronary artery disease in comparison with conventional coronary angiography.
Materials and Methods: The study included 45 patients out of 50 patients with suspected coronary artery disease underwent both MSCT coronary angiography and conventional coronary angiography.
Results: The total sensitivity and specificity of MSCT coronary angiography were 99% & 94.5% respectively and the overall accuracy was 95.5%.
The negative predictive value was 97.5% while the positive predictive value was 83.5%.
Conclusion: Non-invasive CT angiography of the coronary arteries can diagnose and exclude hemodynamically significant coronary stenoses with high accuracy.
