Clinical Trial: PET/CT* vs. Cardiac CT for Detecting Coronary Atherosclerotic Disease [*PET: Positron Emission Tomography; CT: Computed Tomography]
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Coronary Artery Disease
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: PET/CT vs. Cardiac CT for Detecting Coronary Atherosclerotic Disease
Brief 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.
