Standardized volumetric plaque quantification and characterization from coronary CT angiography: a head-to-head comparison with invasive intravascular ultrasound.


ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:We sought to evaluate the accuracy of standardized total plaque volume (TPV) measurement and low-density non-calcified plaque (LDNCP) assessment from coronary CT angiography (CTA) in comparison with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). METHODS:We analyzed 118 plaques without extensive calcifications from 77 consecutive patients who underwent CTA prior to IVUS. CTA TPV was measured with semi-automated software comparing both scan-specific (automatically derived from scan) and fixed attenuation thresholds. From CTA, %LDNCP was calculated voxels below multiple LDNCP thresholds (30, 45, 60, 75, and 90 Hounsfield units [HU]) within the plaque. On IVUS, the lipid-rich component was identified by echo attenuation, and its size was measured using attenuation score (summed score ? analysis length) based on attenuation arc (1?=?
