Iterative image reconstruction algorithms in coronary CT angiography improve the detection of lipid-core plaque--a comparison with histology.

Objectives: To evaluate whether iterative reconstruction algorithms improve the diagnostic accuracy of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) for detection of lipid-core plaque (LCP) compared to histology.Methods and Materials: CCTA and histological data were acquired from three ex vivo hearts. CCTA images...
