Quantitative analysis of coronary vessels with optimized intracoronary CT number.

BACKGROUND: Variability in intracoronary computed tomography (CT) number may influence vessel quantification. We confirmed the feasibility of a novel method for measuring vessel diameter and area using coronary CT angiography (CCTA) with an optimized intracoronary CT number, 350 HU. METHODS: We perf...
