Abstrakt:	The article presents a study on the costs of different methods for the detection of coronary artery stenoses in patients with possible coronary artery disease (CAD). It used a group of patients who underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). It performed methods such as cost analysis and randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Results show cost savings of 50%, 25% and 23% in the public sectors of the health care systems in Germany, Great Britain and Switzerland, respectively.
