Abstract | We tested the hypothesis that quantitative 3D analysis of myocardial perfusion from MDCT images obtained during regadenoson stress would more accurately detect the presence of significant coronary artery disease (CAD) than the same analysis when performed on resting MDCT images. Fifty consecutive patients referred for CT coronary angiography (CTCA) underwent additional imaging with regadenoson (0.4mg, Astellas) using prospective gating (256-channel, Philips). Custom software was used to calculate for each myocardial segment an index of severity and extent of perfusion abnormality, Qh, which was compared to perfusion defects predicted by the presence and severity of coronary stenosis on CTCA. In segments supplied by arteries with luminal narrowing >50%, myocardial attenuation was slightly reduced compared to normally perfused segments at rest (91±21 vs. 93±26 HU, NS), and to a larger extent at stress (102±21 vs. 112±20 HU, p<0.05). In contrast, index Qh was significantly increased in these segments at rest (0.40±0.48 vs. 0.26±0.41, p<0.05) and reached a nearly 3-fold difference at stress (0.66±0.74 vs. 0.28±0.51, p<0.05). The addition of regadenoson improved the diagnosis of CAD, as reflected by an increase in sensitivity (from 0.57 to 0.91) and improvement in accuracy (0.65 to 0.77). In conclusion, quantitative 3D analysis of MDCT images allows objective detection of CAD, the accuracy of which is improved by regadenoson stress. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
