The Perivascular Fat Attenuation Index Improves the Diagnostic Performance for Functional Coronary Stenosis
<b>Background:</b> Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is an established first-line test in the investigation of patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), while the perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) derived from CT seems to be a feasible and efficient tool...
