Fully-automated one-click on-site CT-FFR: a novel tool for functional evaluation for patients with coronary artery disease - EurekAlert
<p>In a paper published in Science Bulletin, researchers have developed a fully automated, one-click, on-site CT-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) technique, which can detect functionally myocardial ischemia with an accurate, rapid, user-friendly, and highly technical successful rate manner. The developed CT-FFR showed superior prognostic value over traditional stenosis severity on coronary CT angiography and clinical risk factors based prediction model in patients with chronic coronary syndromes and acute chest pain. The fully automated, on-site CT-FFR technique can function as an objective and convenient tool to provide functional information for diagnostic and prognostic evaluation in patients with coronary artery disease.</p>
