Figure 2
Representative case of CT-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) analysis. (A) Curved multiplanar reconstruction of coronary CT angiography shows a mixed plaque causing intermediate stenosis in the mid-left anterior descending artery (LAD) (arrow). (B) Three-dimensional CT-FFR model demonstrates a hemodynamically significant lesion in the mid-LAD with a CT-FFR value of 0.45 (circled), while other coronary segments show higher CT-FFR values.
