Title:

The Invisible Becomes Quantifiable in Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography Exams with CT-FFR

Abstract:

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cause of death globally. Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a non-invasive technique commonly used to rule out CAD due to its high negative predictive value. However, CCTA provides mainly an anatomical characterization of CAD rather than assessing its clinical significance resulting in unnecessary invasive cardiac catheterizations. We present the CT-FFR application which enables an on-site assessment of the clinical relevance of CAD from CCTA exam by combining automatic machine-learning based coronary tree modeling and advanced real-time flow simulation. On-site CT-FFR has the potential to reduce the amount of unnecessary invasive cardiac catheterizations and subsequently involved risk and hospitalization in patients with suspected coronary artery disease.
