Abstract

BACKGROUND: Noninvasive cardiac testing with coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) are becoming alternatives to invasive angiography for the evaluation of obstructive coronary artery disease. We aimed to evaluate whether a novel artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted CCTA program is comparable to SPECT imaging for ischemic testing.
