MS-CT coronary imaging.
Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography (CT) have recently emerged as two techniques that can noninvasively visualize the coronary arteries. The latest generation 16-row detector multislice CT scanner is now considered the most reliable technique to visualize the coronaries. The sensitivity and specificity to detect a significant (>50% diameter stenosis) coronary stenosis is +/-94% and +/-90%, respectively. Further technical improvements are necessary to make CT a clinically reliable diagnostic tool.
