• Reliable High-Speed Coronary Computed Tomography in Symptomatic Patients Annick C. Weustink, Willem B. Meijboom, Nico R. Mollet, Masato Otsuka, Fransesca Pugliese, Carlos van Mieghem, Roberto Malago, Niels van Pelt, Marcel L. Dijkshoorn, Filippo Cademartiri, Gabriel P. Krestin, Pim J. de Feyter We assessed the diagnostic performance of the high-speed dual source computed tomography scanner (DSCT) for the detection of significant coronary lesions in a clinically wide range of patients. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of DSCT coronary angiography for the detection of significant lesions on a segment-by-segment analysis were 95%, 95%, 75%, and 99%, respectively, and on a patient-based analysis 99%, 87%, 96%, and 95%, respectively. Noninvasive DSCT coronary angiography is highly sensitive to detect and to reliably rule out the presence of a significant coronary stenosis in patients presenting with atypical or typical angina pectoris, or unstable coronary artery disease.
