Electron-Beam Computed Tomography for Evaluating Coronary Artery Disease
J. Paul Shields, MD
15 December 1998 | Volume 129 Issue 12 | Page 1077
TO THE EDITOR:
In Dr. Fiorino's review on electron-beam CT [1], I believe it is unfortunate that no reference was made to data on this method compared with intracoronary ultrasonography. Coronary angiography is not the "gold standard."
