What is the role of invasive versus non‐invasive coronary angiography in the investigation of patients suspected to have coronary heart disease?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The improved technology of multi-slice cardiac CT angiography (CTA) has enabled production of high quality images of the coronary arteries. The sensitivity and specificity of the test in identifying patients with obstructive coronary lesions in 64-slice and later generations of scanners is high. To enable effective use of CTA in the clinical setting, a better understanding of this technology, particularly in comparison to invasive coronary angiography, is needed. In this article we discuss the characteristics of CTA in comparison to invasive coronary angiography and discuss the role of CTA in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). Newer CTA scanners and individualized scanning protocols can minimize radiation exposure from CTA. CTA can provide more information than invasive coronary angiography on the type and burden of atherosclerotic plaque in the coronary tree. CTA is most useful in those at intermediate risk of CAD.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
