Popis: Retrospectively gated CTA has demonstrated a reduction in length of stay (LOS), hospital cost, and radiation exposure in low risk, symptomatic patients presenting to the ER, compared to myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). However, the benefits of volumetric CTA have not been evaluated in this
