Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 70-year-old woman with a high pretest likelihood of coronary artery disease (CAD) underwent a Tc-99m MIBI SPECT-CT study for myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), which was complemented by a high-resolution volume CT (VCT) study. After attenuation correction, an MPI pattern of ischemia was detected in the lateral wall of the myocardium. The CT calcium score (CTCS) was above the 75th percentile. The CT angiography (CTA) demonstrated a 70% stenosis at the ostial part of the circumflex artery, and incidentally revealed a saccular aneurysm. In today's nuclear cardiology, low-dose SPECT-CT plus high-resolution VCT allows anatofunctional assessment of suspected CAD. |
