Medical Forum / General / Cardiology / December 2004How accurate are multiple detector cat scans?
Are they as accurate/helpful/informative as catheterization? --Hua Kul > Are they as accurate/helpful/informative as catheterization? > > --Hua Kul Catheterization (coronary angiography) remains the gold standard for evaluating occlusive coronary atherosclerotic disease. Hope the above information helps you. Such is the work being done here for Christ's glory (http://makeashorterlink.com/?U1E13130A).

Catheterization is orders of magnitude more invasive and risky than the multiple detector cat scans. I would like to know how they compare qualitatively. Do you have experience with them Dr. Chung? Many thanks for any information. --Hua Kul > > Catheterization (coronary angiography) remains the gold standard for > > evaluating occlusive coronary atherosclerotic disease. > > Catheterization is orders of magnitude more invasive and risky than the > multiple detector cat scans. It is. For this reason, it is usually done after an abnormal stress test. > I would like to know how they compare > qualitatively. Non-invasive imaging whether by CT scan or by MRI are continuing to improve in resolution to rival the *anatomical* information that is achieved with invasive angiography. However, they remain *non-invasive* evaluations of *anatomy* which limit their usefulness on two levels. > Do you have experience with them Dr. Chung?
