Rationale and design of the Clinical Evaluation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Coronary heart disease 2 trial (CE-MARC 2): a prospective, multicenter, randomized trial of diagnostic strategies in suspected coronary heart disease [PDF]
Background: A number of investigative strategies exist for the diagnosis of coronary heart disease (CHD). Despite the widespread availability of noninvasive imaging, invasive angiography is commonly used early in the diagnostic pathway.

Prevalence of obstructive coronary artery disease and prognosis in patients with stable symptoms and a zero-coronary calcium score [PDF]
© The Author 2017. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the European Society of Cardiology.Aims: CT calcium scoring (CTCS) and CT cardiac angiography (CTCA) are widely used in patients with stable chest pain to exclude significant coronary ...

Predicting blunt cerebrovascular injury in pediatric trauma: Validation of the Utah Score [PDF]
Risk factors for blunt cerebrovascular injury (BCVI) may differ between children and adults, suggesting that children at low risk for BCVI after trauma receive unnecessary computed tomography angiography (CTA) and high-dose radiation.

Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography
Recent developments in computed tomography technology have made imaging of the coronary arteries possible. All the same, the rapid motion and small dimensions of the coronary vessels make coronary computed tomography angiography (coronary CTA) challenging.

Coronary micro-computed tomography angiography in mice [PDF]
AbstractCoronary computed tomography angiography is an established technique in clinical practice and a valuable tool in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease in humans. Imaging of coronaries in preclinical research, i.e. in small animals, is very difficult due to the high demands on spatial and temporal resolution. Mice exhibit heart rates of up to

Coronary CT Angiography and 5-Year Risk of Myocardial Infarction. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Although coronary computed tomographic angiography (CTA) improves diagnostic certainty in the assessment of patients with stable chest pain, its effect on 5-year clinical outcomes is unknown.

Can Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography Replace Invasive Angiography? [PDF]
One million patients undergo invasive coronary angiography (CA) in the United States every year.1 In view of its invasive nature and related costs, noninvasive imaging of coronary imaging has the theoretical appeal to improve comfort for patients, reduce cost, and refine patient selection to limit invasive procedures to patients requiring treatment for
