摘要: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or magnetic angiography (MRA) can potentially define atherosclerotic plaque in the aorta and heart – however, majority of information on looking at coronary noninvasively comes from doing Cardiac CT. In particular, noncontrast CT a linear estimate by defining calcium “score.” Adding contrast-enhanced also provides means to present noncalcified, “soft,” vulnerable over above that just score.
