Coronary CT Angiography and Dual-Energy Computed Tomography in Ischemic Heart Disease Suspected Patients.

CONCLUSION: Agreement of CTA and CTP in whole heart and in LAD considering DMB and significant CAD together were good to excellent; however, considering sole pathologies, most of the agreements were weak (<0.5). DECT with iodine quantification may provide a valuable method in comparison with previous methods for identifying both coronary stenosis and myocardial ischemia.
