Diagnostic accuracy of noninvasive coronary imaging using 16-detector slice spiral computed tomography with 188 ms temporal resolution
Axel Kuettner,T. Beck,Tanja Drosch,Klaus Kettering,Martin Heuschmid,Christof Burgstahler,Claus D. Claussen,Andreas F. Kopp,Stephen Schroeder +8 more
TL;DR: The results indicate a high diagnostic accuracy of 16-slice MDCT with improved temporal resolution, especially in patients with clinical suspicion of coronary artery disease (CAD).

Influence of a Lipid-Lowering Therapy on Calcified and Noncalcified Coronary Plaques Monitored by Multislice Detector Computed Tomography: Results of the New Age II Pilot Study
Christof Burgstahler,Anja Reimann,T. Beck,Axel Kuettner,Dorothee Baumann,Martin Heuschmid,Harald Brodoefel,Claus D. Claussen,Andreas F. Kopp,Stephen Schroeder +9 more
TL;DR: Statin therapy led to a significant reduction of noncalcified plaque burden that was not reflected in calcium scoring or total plaque burden, and might explain the risk reduction after the initiation of statin therapy.

Image quality and diagnostic accuracy of non-invasive coronary imaging with 16 detector slice spiral computed tomography with 188 ms temporal resolution.
Axel Kuettner,T. Beck,T. Drosch,K Kettering,M Heuschmid,Christof Burgstahler,Claus D. Claussen,Andreas F. Kopp,Stephen Schroeder +8 more
TL;DR: The results in an unselected population underline the potential of MDCT to become a non-invasive diagnostic alternative, especially for the exclusion of coronary artery disease, in the near future.

Non-invasive evaluation of coronary artery bypass grafts using 16-row multi-slice computed tomography with 188 ms temporal resolution.
Christof Burgstahler,T. Beck,Axel Kuettner,Tanja Drosch,Andreas F. Kopp,Martin Heuschmid,Claus D. Claussen,Stephen Schroeder +7 more
TL;DR: True 16-slice MSCT with faster gantry rotation time allows detection of lesions in coronary artery bypass grafts with high sensitivity and specificity and the correct clinical diagnosis was achieved in all patients.

Non-invasive evaluation of atherosclerosis with contrast enhanced 16 slice spiral computed tomography: results of ex vivo investigations
Stephen Schroeder,Axel Kuettner,T Wojak,J Janzen,M Heuschmid,T. Athanasiou,T. Beck,Christof Burgstahler,Christian Herdeg,Claus D. Claussen,Andreas F. Kopp +10 more
TL;DR: The diagnostic accuracy in further subclassifying non-calcified plaques as lipid rich and fibrotic is low, even under experimental conditions, and 16 slice CT was found to be a reliable non-invasive imaging technique for assessing atherosclerotic plaque morphology and composition.
