Multislice computed tomography angiography in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease

Multislice CT angiography represents one of the most exciting technological revolutions in cardiac imaging and it has been increasingly used in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Rapid improvements in multislice CT scanners over the last decade have allowed this technique to become a potentially effective alternative to invasive coronary angiography in patients with suspected coronary artery disease. High diagnostic value has been achieved with multislice CT angiography with use of 64- and more slice CT scanners. In addition, multislice CT angiography shows accurate detection and analysis of coronary calcium, characterization of coronary plaques, as well as prediction of the disease progression and major cardiac events. Thus, patients can benefit from multislice CT angiography that provides a rapid and accurate diagnosis while avoiding unnecessary invasive coronary angiography procedures. The aim of this article is present an overview of the clinical applications of multislice CT angiography in coronary artery disease with a focus on the diagnostic accuracy of coronary artery disease; prognostic value of coronary artery disease with regard to the prediction of major cardiac events; detection and quantification of coronary calcium and characterization of coronary plaques. Limitations of multislice CT angiography in coronary artery disease are also briefly discussed, and future directions are highlighted.

Diagnostic value of 16-slice multidetector computed tomography in symptomatic patients with suspected significant obstructive coronary artery disease

We investigated the diagnostic value and limitations of 16-slice multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) to detect significant obstructive coronary artery disease in symptomatic patients. A total of 43 symptomatic patients underwent conventional coronary angiography and 16-slice multidetector computed tomography for the detection of significant obstructive coronary artery disease. The diagnostic value and limitations of 16-slice multidetector computed tomography to detect significant coronary stenoses were determined by analyzing all coronary arteries and proximal segments, both including and excluding unevaluable segments. Analysis of all 592 coronary artery segments demonstrated moderate sensitivity (67%) and positive predictive value (69%), with a high specificity (95%) and negative predictive value (94%) for the detection of significant coronary artery stenoses. When the unevaluable segments had been excluded, with the analysis of all evaluable segments, proximal segments, and evaluable proximal segments, sensitivity increased (71%, 77%, and 83%, respectively), and high specificity (95%, 96%, and 96%, respectively) and negative predictive value (95%) were maintained. When we repeated the analysis taking only the patients into account, 16-slice MDCT correctly diagnosed 88% of all patients but a moderate negative predictive value (63%) was obtained. Artifacts caused by cardiac motion were the most frequent reason for unevaluable segments. Calcification was the leading cause of degraded image quality and incorrect diagnosis. Our results demonstrated that 16-slice MDCT has a moderate diagnostic value for the correct diagnosis of symptomatic patients with significant coronary artery disease. This result suggests that 16-slice MDCT may not be able to exclude significant coronary artery disease reliably in patients at high risk.

Accuracy of thin-slice computed tomography in the detection of coronary stenoses.

AIM: Our aim was to investigate the accuracy of multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) in the detection of significant (>50%) coronary stenosis using a scanner equipped for 16 x 0.625 mm collimation. METHODS: In 64 patients (59 male, mean age 58 +/- 5 years) with suspected coronary artery disease, MSCT (GE Light Speed-16, collimation: 16 x 0.625 mm) was performed 20 +/- 5 days before coronary angiography (CAG). Only angiographic segments >1.5 mm were considered for analysis. RESULTS: In all patients, MSCT was carried out without complications. Three patients were excluded from the analysis. Of 729 angiographic segments, 613 (84%) were judged evaluable by MSCT. Considering only the segments judged evaluable, the sensitivity was 89%, specificity 98%, positive predictive value 90%, and negative predictive value 98%. Including all segments in the analysis (evaluable and nonevaluable), sensitivity was 78%. CONCLUSIONS: Using a scanner with a collimation of 16 x 0.625 mm, our study confirms the potential role of MSCT in the detection of significant coronary stenosis with a sensitivity of 89% and a very high specificity (98%). Exclusion criteria and less than full evaluability of the coronary arteries must still be considered limitations of the method.

Multidetector computed tomography for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease: a systematic review

Purpose

The study’s purpose was to determine the sensitivity and specificity of contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography (CT) for the detection of coronary artery disease.

Subjects and methods

A search of the literature in all languages was performed incorporating both electronic and manual components. Manual reference checks of recent reviews and all original investigations supplemented the electronic searches.

Results

Average sensitivity for patient-based detection of significant (>50% or ≥50%) stenosis was 61 of 64 (95%) with 4-slice CT, 276 of 292 (95%) with 16-slice CT, and 47 of 47 (100%) with 64-slice CT. Average specificity was 84% for 4-slice CT, 84% for 16-slice CT, and 100% for 64-slice CT. The sensitivity for a significant stenosis in evaluable segments was 307 of 372 (83%) with 4-slice CT, 1023 of 1160 (88%) with 16-slice CT, and 165 of 176 (94%) with 64-slice CT. Average specificity was 93% or greater with all multidetector CT. Seventy-eight percent of segments were evaluable with 4-slice CT, 91% with 16-slice CT, and 100% with 64-slice CT. Stenoses in proximal and mid-segments were shown with a higher sensitivity than distal segments. Left main stenosis was identified with high sensitivity with all multidetector CT, but sensitivity in other vessels increased with an increasing number of detectors.

Conclusion

Multidetector CT has the potential to be used as a screening test in appropriate patients. Contrast-enhanced 16-slice CT seems to be reasonably sensitive and specific for the detection of significant coronary artery disease but has shortcomings. Preliminary data with 64-slice CT suggest that it is more sensitive and specific.

Radiation dose difference between state of the art myocardial perfusion scintigraphy and computed tomography coronary angiography in patients undergoing evaluation for suspected coronary artery disease

Minimisation of radiation exposure with cardiac imaging reduces the potential of secondary side effects. Radiation exposure from myocardial perfusion scintigraphy and computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) was compared. Overall doses were low with both modalities. Doses were lower in the CTCA group, but by only a small difference of 1.1 mSv. Radiation exposure should not be the primary consideration when choosing between these two modalities.

Spiral multislice computed tomography coronary angiography: a current status report

Multislice computed tomography coronary angiography (MSCT-CA) has emerged as a powerful noninvasive diagnostic modality to visualize the coronary arteries and to detect significant coronary stenoses. The latest generation 64-slice computed tomography (CT) scanners is a robust technique which allows high-resolution, isotropic, nearly motion-free coronary imaging. Coronary stenoses are detected with high sensitivity and a normal scan accurately rules out the presence of a coronary stenosis. With the introduction of further novel concepts in CT-technology one may expect that MSCT-CA will become a clinically used diagnostic tool.     

Diagnostic value of the 16-detector row multislice spiral computed tomography for the detection of coronary artery stenosis in comparison to invasive coronary angiography

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of 16-slice multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) of the coronaries and to provide data in a real clinical setting. Previous 16-slice MSCT studies presented data excluding patients with calcification, vessels of < 1.5 or 2 mm, and segments with impaired image quality. By including these data for 16-slice MSCT, a direct comparison with new data from 64-slice MSCT is possible. METHODS AND RESULTS: Sixty two patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease (CAD) were prospectively enrolled and underwent computed tomography angiography (CTA) and invasive coronary angiography (ICA). All vessels were evaluated for the presence of a significant coronary artery stenosis (>50%) using the American Heart Association (AHA) 15-segment model. From the evaluation of 917 segments, sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive value (NPV) (positive predictive value [PPV] and NPV) for the presence of relevant coronary stenosis were 73, 98, and 71 and 98% per segment and 94, 90, and 91 and 93% per patient, respectively. The influence of age, gender, body surface area (BSA), heart rate (HR), stents, and Ca(2+)-score value was analyzed. High Ca(2+)-score values were the only statistically significant predictor for impaired diagnostic accuracy. CONCLUSIONS: In summary, CTA with evaluation of all vessel segments in a broad spectrum of patients allowed accurate and fast noninvasive coronary artery evaluation, including evaluation of stented segments. These data are very similar to those published recently for 64-slice scanners.     

双源CT对冠状动脉支架靶血管再狭窄的诊断价值
