Preliminary studies have shown the potential of myocardial computed tomography perfusion (CTP) analysis for ischemia detection in both animals and humans.
To provide validation data on stress-rest CTP protocols as additive tools to improve the accuracy of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) for coronary artery disease (CAD) in symptomatic patients.
Ninety symptomatic patients with suspected CAD (62 ± 8 years, 66% males) underwent both MDCT and invasive coronary angiography (XA). The MDCT protocol included a prospective calcium score acquisition, a helical acquisition with retrospective gating during infusion of adenosine (140 μg/kg/min) and a prospective scan for computed tomography angiography (CTA) at rest (total effective radiation dose: 5.1 ± 0.8 mSv). Significant and higher-grade CADs were defined by the presence of ≥50% or ≥70% stenosis in at least one coronary artery, as evaluated by quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) using XA images.
On a patient-based model, CTA sensitivity, specificity, and positive (PPV) and negative predictive values (NPV) to detect ≥50% or ≥70% stenosis were 98%, 71%, 80%, and 97% (global accuracy 86%) and 100%, 60%, 64%, and 100% (accuracy 77%), respectively. An integrative approach of CTA and CTP results had the best performance for detection of CAD with sensitivity of 83%, specificity of 98%, PPV of 98%, and NPV of 84% (accuracy 84%) for detection of 50% stenosis and 97%, 90%, 88%, and 98% (accuracy 93%), respectively, for the 70% threshold. The integration of results had the best overall performance in all scenarios but was particularly advantageous in the prediction of higher-grade CAD, with an area under the curve of 0.93, compared with 0.80 for isolated CTA and 0.82 for CTP and in patients with severe calcifications (sensitivity 92%, specificity 87%, overall accuracy of 90%).
The integration of functional and morphological data using CTA and CTP improved MDCT accuracy for detection of clinically relevant CAD at both thresholds of 50% and 70% in this intermediate to high pretest probability population.
初步研究表明，心肌计算机断层灌注（CTP）分析在动物和人体中具有检测缺血的潜力。
为应激-静息 CTP 方案提供验证数据，作为提高多排螺旋 CT（MDCT）对有症状患者冠状动脉疾病（CAD）准确性的附加工具。
90 例疑似 CAD 的有症状患者（62±8 岁，男性占 66%）接受了 MDCT 和有创冠状动脉造影（XA）检查。MDCT 方案包括前瞻性钙评分采集、腺苷（140μg/kg/min）输注时回顾性门控的螺旋采集以及静息时的 CT 血管造影（CTA）前瞻性扫描（总有效辐射剂量：5.1±0.8mSv）。通过 QCA 对 XA 图像进行评估，将至少一支冠状动脉≥50%或≥70%狭窄定义为有意义和更高等级的 CAD。
基于患者模型，CTA 检测≥50%或≥70%狭窄的敏感性、特异性、阳性（PPV）和阴性预测值（NPV）分别为 98%、71%、80%和 97%（整体准确率 86%）和 100%、60%、64%和 100%（准确率 77%）。CTA 和 CTP 结果的综合方法对 CAD 的检测具有最佳性能，检测 50%狭窄的敏感性为 83%、特异性为 98%、PPV 为 98%、NPV 为 84%（准确率 84%），检测 70%狭窄的敏感性为 97%、特异性为 90%、PPV 为 88%、NPV 为 98%（准确率 93%）。在所有情况下，综合结果的表现最佳，但在预测高级别 CAD 方面尤其有利，曲线下面积为 0.93，而单独 CTA 为 0.80，CTP 为 0.82，在严重钙化患者中为 0.90（敏感性 92%，特异性 87%，总准确率 90%）。
在这个中到高术前概率人群中，使用 CTA 和 CTP 整合功能和形态数据可提高 MDCT 检测有临床意义的 CAD 的准确性，两个狭窄程度阈值为 50%和 70%。
