Question: From India:
Can a CT angiography detect coronary plaque in a diabetic as well as coronary angiography?
Answer:
At this time, coronary angiography is the gold standard for diagnosing high-grade atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries. Great strides have been made with CT angiography but they are not superior to usual angiography.
