C.T. CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY IN SUSPECTED CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE- A STUDY ON 100 PATIENTS BY CALCIUM SCORING AND CTCA.

Pankaj Kumar Yadav, Sandeep Singh Awal

Abstract :

 Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography (CTCA) is an effective non–invasive modality to visualize coronary artery disease

and the presence of luminal and vessel wall pathology. It is an effective tool for diagnosing patients at risk of coronary artery
disease.
Due to the continuous motion of the beating heart, its cross sectional imaging has always been technically challenging. Some of
the challenges in evaluating the coronary arteries at Computed Tomography (CT) are – small size of the vessels and their close
vicinity to the moving heart. The present study was undertaken to determine the role of Coronary CT Angiography in patients with
suspected coronary artery disease. There were 100 suspected cases of Coronary Artery Disease evaluated by Non Contrast
Calcium scoring followed by CTCA.
