Abstract
A comprehensive evaluation of coronary anatomy and atherosclerosis can be provided by MDCT. Currently, several studies have used either manual or semi-automated algorithms for quantification of different plaque characteristics, in particular the degree of luminal narrowing. Although the feasibility of these quantitative algorithms has been demonstrated, further refinement of quantitative CT algorithms is currently indicated to allow a comprehensive yet fully automated analysis of plaque characteristics.
