Evaluation of Extracellular Volume and Coronary Artery Disease in Cardiac Amyloidosis Using Photon-Counting CT
Compared to the imaging reference standard CMR, ECV derived from the DE and SE methods via PCCT demonstrated excellent positive correlations with CMR. The DE method exhibited minor differences compared to CMR, which were clinically not relevant. CAD with an extensive burden of calcified plaque was highly prevalent in CA; however, 57.6% of patients presented with nonobstructive CAD. Therefore, PCCT is a valuable tool for imaging both the coronary arteries and myocardial structure in CA.
