Abstract
The results of this study indicate that routine implementation of multidetector computed tomography coronarography is limited by a high false-positive rate, when performed among an unselected population of patients with a high pretest probability of having coronary stenoses, in centres with variable expertises. Its place within the range of diagnostic tools has yet to be determined by large multicenter studies, before being subject to precise recommendations framing its routine clinical application.
