Figure 1 Distribution of effective doses for patients undergoing coronary computed tomography angiography.
Figure 2 Coronary computed tomography angiography examination with image quality score 4 performed in a 52 years old female patient with heart rate of 56 bpm with a dose of 0.
18 mSv.
Figure 3 Examples of correlation of coronary computed tomography angiography with invasive angiography.
A: Correct identification of ostial stenosis in right coronary; B: Correct identification of significant stenosis in left anterior descending coronary; C: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) incorrectly classifies lesion as not significant (subsequently proven to be haemodynamically significant with fractional flow reserve); D: CCTA incorrectly identifies a significant lesion in circumflex coronary due to artefact from extensive calcification.
