| Abstract | ||
| Multi-slice cardiac CT has evolved as a noninvasive imaging technique for t h e evaluation of stenosis in the coronary arteries by what is called Coronary Computed Tomographic Angiography (CCTA), but it is also widely used in quantitative plaque assessments through Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) scoring and plaque type identification ( soft or Mixed VS calcific). Evaluation of aortic distensibility and aortic stiffness can also be performed through Multi-Slice Computed Tomography (MSCT) by calculating t h e Aortic Distensibility Index (ADI) and Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV). | ||
