Abstract
Multidetector CT has the potential to be used as a screening test in appropriate patients. Contrast-enhanced 16-slice CT seems to be reasonably sensitive and specific for the detection of significant coronary artery disease but has shortcomings. Preliminary data with 64-slice CT suggest that it is more sensitive and specific.
