PET/CT* vs. Cardiac CT for Detecting Coronary Atherosclerotic Disease [*PET: Positron Emission Tomography; CT: Computed Tomography]

Sponsor: Johns Hopkins University

Summary

Early detection of coronary atherosclerotic disease facilitates adequate prevention. The purpose of this study is to compare an assessment of coronary atherosclerotic disease burden by positron emission tomography / computed tomography (NaF-PET/CT) with those of conventional and ultra-high-resolution-CT (UHR-CT) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease. For this purpose, the investigators plan to include 33 patients with symptoms concerning for CAD who have been referred for cardiac CT testing.
