CORE 320 study evaluates CCTA and SPECT for CAD diagnosis
A new comparative effectiveness study has found that 320-detector-row coronary CT angiography (CCTA) is better than SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD). But MPI still helps avoid unnecessary cardiac catheterization and revascularization.

Study affirms CCTA's value to rule out myocardial infarction
Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) is clinically safe and may use medical resources more effectively than conventional methods for evaluating chest pain in patients who are at low or intermediate risk of myocardial infarction, according to research presented earlier this month at the American College of Cardiology meeting.
