Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical value of dual-source CT(DSCT) in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease by comparing the result of DSCT and coronary angiography(CAG).Methods From July 2009 to August 2010,36 patients with suspected coronary hear disease underwent both DSCT coronary angiography(DSCTCA) and selective GAG examination.The results of DSCT coronary angiography were compared with CAG which was the gold standard of diagnosing coronary disease.The sensitivity,specificity,positive and negative predictive value,and accuracy of DSCT were evaluated.Results 144 coronary arteries were well evaluated of 36 cases.The sensitivity,specificity,positive and negative predictive value,and accuracy of DSCT in the diagnosis of coronary hear disease were 100.00％,66.67％,93.75％,100.00％ and 97.20％ respectively by the number of patients;The McNemar test showed no significant difference between two methods( x2 =0.500,P ＞0.05 ) with a higher diagnosis concordance (Kapp =0.768,P ＜0.01).By detecting moderate to severe coronary artery stenosis,the sensitivity,specificity,positive and negative predictive value,accuracy were 95.24％,96.08％,90.91％,98.00％,95.83％,respectively.The McNemar test showed no significant difference between two methods(x2 =0.167,P ＞0.05) with a higher diagnosis concordance ( Kapp =0.899,P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusion DSCT has a diagnostic accuracy of coronary heart disease close to that CAG,especially in evaluating patients with moderate to severe coronary artery stenosis,it has high compliance and consistency with CAG.DSCT is a noninvasive,safe and reliable radiographic method.
