    Plaque characteristics on coronary CT angiography associated with the positive findings of fractional flow reserve and instantaneous wave-free ratio

    Fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) are useful in determining indications for revascularization of coronary artery disease (CAD). Although the discordance of FFR and iFR was n...

    Adjustment of CT-fractional flow reserve based on fluid–structure interaction underestimation to minimize 1-year cardiac events

    The purpose of the study was to evaluate the optimal cut-off value of CT-Fractional Flow Reserve (CT-FFR) using fluid–structure interaction and how to adjust the CT-FFR’s underestimation from a standpoint of m...

    Clinical significance of transluminal attenuation gradient in 320-row area detector coronary CT angiography

    The clinical significance of the transluminal attenuation gradient (TAG) has not been established. We evaluated the incremental diagnostic value of TAG by 320-row area detector computed tomography (320-ADCT). ...
