Ultrafast Computed Tomography = Electron Beam Tomography (EBT, EBCT)
- Ultrafast computed tomography can be used to detect coronary calcifications, which often precede symptomatic coronary artery stenosis. However, coronary calcification is also observed in patients without important coronary artery disease at angiography.
- Although this test has generated substantial interest and publicity, its cist and the current lack of information from large scale assessments make it premature to recommend its use in routine clinical care.
