Figure 1 Computed Tomographic Angiogram and Invasive Angiogram Demonstrating Significant Left Anterior Descending Artery Disease

(A) Right anterior oblique orientation of left anterior descending artery with quantitative coronary angiography. (B) Multiplanar reformation and short-axis cross-sectional view (inset) of the left anterior descending artery demonstrating obstructive coronary artery stenosis. (C) Curved multiplanar reformat of the left anterior descending artery demonstrating obstructive coronary artery stenosis. (D) Volume-rendered view of the left anterior descending artery. Arrows indicate the significant stenosis present on the computed tomographic angiogram and corresponding invasive angiogram.

Figure 3 ROC Curve Evaluating Diagnostic Accuracy of CCTA Compared With Invasive Angiogram

Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve for identification of patients by coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) with ≥70% coronary artery stenosis by quantitative coronary angiography. The points on the plot represent the 6 categories of interpretation for CCTA used in this study: 0 = 100% stenosis; 1 = 70% to 99% stenosis; 2 = 50% to 69% stenosis; 3 = 30% to 49% stenosis; 4 = <30% stenosis; and 5 = no stenosis. The ROC shows us the degree to which we predict disease/no disease of 70% stenosis by invasive angiography. AUC = area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve; CI = confidence interval.
