Prognostic value of myocardial perfusion imaging after first-line coronary computed tomography angiography: A multi-center cohort study
Further diagnostic testing may be required after a coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) showing suspected coronary stenosis. Whether myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) provides further prognostic information post-CTA remains debated. We evaluated the prognosis for patients completing CTA stratified for post-CTA diagnostic work-up using real-world data.Influence of operator expertise and coronary luminal segmentation technique on diagnostic performance, precision and reproducibility of reduced-order CT-derived fractional flow reserve technique
Onsite workstation-based CT-derived Fractional-Flow-Reserve (CT-FFR) is accurate in assessing hemodynamic-significance of coronary stenoses. We aim to describe the influence of operator expertise and luminal-segmentation technique on the diagnostic performance, precision and reproducibility of CT-FFR in identifying hemodynamically-significant stenosis (FFR≤0.8).Artificial intelligence machine learning-based coronary CT fractional flow reserve (CT-FFRML): Impact of iterative and filtered back projection reconstruction techniques
The influence of computed tomography (CT) reconstruction algorithms on the performance of machine-learning-based CT-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFRML) has not been investigated. CT-FFRML values and processing time of two reconstruction algorithms were compared using an on-site workstation.Optimized interpretation of fractional flow reserve derived from computed tomography: Comparison of three interpretation methods
An optimal system for interpreting fractional flow reserve (FFR) values derived from CT (FFRCT) is lacking. We sought to evaluate performance of three FFRCT measurements in detecting ischemia by comparing them with invasive FFR.
