Fig. 3C —Accuracy of measured percentage stenosis. Values are means;
error bars indicate mean ± 0.5 SD; light gray, 3-mm vessel diameter;
dark gray, 5-mm vessel diameter. Graph shows effects of attenuation protocols
of cardiac CTA imaging on accuracy of detection of 75% stenosis.
High-attenuation (500 H) protocol led to significant underestimation of
stenosis in smaller vessels but was accurate in depicting larger vessels.
Low-attenuation (200 H) protocol led to slight overestimation of stenosis.
Imaging accuracy and stability did not differ significantly from
moderate-attenuation protocols (300 and 350 H).
