• Chest pain in the emergency department: role of cardiac imaging (2009, background): “Although Wackers mentioned the radiation exposure issue for computed tomographic coronary angiography (CTA), he did not for radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging. However, the latter may radiate the same as a standard CTA, and even more than diagnostic coronary angiography.”
• Coronary computed tomography angiography for early triage of patients with acute chest pain: the ROMICAT (Rule Out Myocardial Infarction using Computer Assisted Tomography) trial. (2009, background): “One of the major limitations of coronary CT is the associated radiation exposure ( 40 ).”
• Standardized Evaluation Methodology and Reference Database for Evaluating Coronary Artery Centerline Extraction Algorithms (2009, background): “A disadvantage of CTA is that the current imaging protocols are associated with a higher radiation dose exposure than CCA (Einstein et al., 2007).”
