Novel imaging\u00a0modalities are expected to enhance diagnosis and\u00a0treatment of coronary atherosclerosis.<\/p>\n<p>Coronary computed tomographic angiography is a\u00a0noninvasive imaging technique traditionally used to\u00a0identify anatomically significant coronary lesions\u00a0and coronary anatomy before surgical intervention.\u00a0Optical coherence tomography has provided a deeper\u00a0understanding of plaque morphology, progression of\u00a0atherosclerosis and post-stenting outcomes. Advances\u00a0in catheter-based intracoronary imaging techniques now\u00a0offer unprecedented views of coronary anatomy and\u00a0pathology.<\/p>\n<p><em>Modern Medicine \u2013 May\u00a02016<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Imaging Modalities in Coronary Artery Disease \u2013 MM1605 Cardiac imaging remains one of the most powerful tools\u00a0in the diagnosis and management of coronary artery\u00a0disease with&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2},"beyondwords_generate_audio":"","beyondwords_project_id":"","beyondwords_content_id":"","beyondwords_preview_token":"","beyondwords_player_content":"","beyondwords_player_style":"","beyondwords_language_code":"","beyondwords_language_id":"","beyondwords_title_voice_id":"","beyondwords_body_voice_id":"","beyondwords_summary_voice_id":"","beyondwords_error_message":"","beyondwords_disabled":"","beyondwords_delete_content":"","beyondwords_podcast_id":"","beyondwords_hash":"","publish_post_to_speechkit":"","speechkit_hash":"","speechkit_generate_audio":"","speechkit_project_id":"","speechkit_podcast_id":"","speechkit_error_message":"","speechkit_disabled":"","speechkit_access_key":"","speechkit_error":"","speechkit_info":"","speechkit_response":"","speechkit_retries":"","speechkit_status":"","speechkit_updated_at":"","_speechkit_link":"","_speechkit_text":""},"categories":[7,113],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1258","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cardiology","category-radiology"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5REYo-ki","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1258"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1258\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1259,"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1258\/revisions\/1259"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1258"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
