  • ↵1-150 Unevaluable arteries were included in calculation of sensitivity and specificity.

  • ↵1-151 Imaging protocol was based on 1.5 mm cross sections.

  • MIP, maximum intensity projection; MPR, multiplanar reconstruction; NA, not applicable; SSD, shaded surface display; VRT, volume rendering technique.
