Diagnostic Accuracy of Fractional Flow Reserve From Anatomic CT Angiography

CONTEXT Coronary computed tomographic (CT) angiography is a noninvasive anatomic test for diagnosis of coronary stenosis that does not determine whether a stenosis causes ischemia. In contrast, fractional flow reserve (FFR) is a physiologic measure of coronary stenosis expressing the amount of coron...
