2011, JACC: Cardiovascular ImagingCitation Excerpt :This is particularly problematic when 2 fundamentally different imaging modalities are employed, as is the case with MDCT and conventional angiography. IVUS imaging revealed the insensitivity of conventional angiography for detecting CAD in segments with external arterial remodeling (57,58). Since MDCT, like IVUS, is capable of visualizing not just the lumen but the entire arterial wall, even mild disease in vessel segments with arterial remodeling is apparent (23).
