2011) rendered a "2' rating for MRI of heart with or without stress without contrast; and a "3" rating for MRI of heart with or without stress without and with contrast for evaluation of patients with acute non-specific chest pain (rating Scale: 1,2,3 means "usually not appropriate"; ...
An obvious solution is the combination of CCTA with a functional procedure, such as perfusion positron emission tomography (PET), perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) or perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This can be performed with fusion imaging or with hybrid imaging...
