OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of 64 multislice computed tomography (MSCT) coronary angiography on the coronary atherosclerosis. METHODS: Sixty one (52 male, 9 female, averaged 58 +/- 11 yrs ) patients underwent conventional coronary angiography and 64-MSCT angiography for suspected coronary artery disease within 5 to 20 days. Coronary artery image quality was scored from 1 to 4 (image quality score, 1: poor; 2: good -; 3: good +, and 4: excellent) on RCA, LM, LAD and LCX, respectively. The coronary artery stenosis were divided into two groups by over than 50% and less than 50% and diagnostic accuracy was analyzed. The coronary plaques were divided as calcified and noncalcified plaque according to its density. The stenosis result from calcified and noncalcified plaque were analyzed. RESULTS: Mean score of image quality on RCA, LM, LAD and LCX was 3.57 +/- 0.18 with heart beats 50 - 104 bpm (mean 70 +/- 11 bpm). Compared with CAG, the sensitivity and specificity of 64-MSCT in evaluating stenosis are 94.45% and 96.15%, the false positive and false negative value are 3.85% and 4.55%. The sensitivity and specificity were 85.71% in evaluating stenosis result from noncalcified plaque and they were 83.33% and 31.57% result from calcified plaque. CONCLUSION: 64-MSCT is an accurate and feasible method in evaluating coronary artery stenosis compared to conventional coronary angiography. However the specificity was poor in evaluating calcified plaque.
