Subtracted Computed Tomography Angiography in the Evaluation of Coronary Arteries With Severe Calcification or Stents Using a 320-Row Computed Tomography Scanner

This study compares the diagnostic performance of subtracted coronary computed tomography angiography (SCCTA) and nonsubtracted coronary computed tomography angiography (NSCCTA) in evaluating coronary artery disease (CAD) and in-stent restenosis (ISR). Materials and Methods: Twelve patients with stents and 20 patients with heavy coronary calcifications (total Agatston’s score>400) underwent both SCCTA and invasive coronary angiography (ICA) with an interval of
