NCT00622167

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare different methods of looking at atherosclerotic plaques in heart arteries. Identifying the characteristics of these plaques noninvasively would be very valuable. This study is looking at a new CT scanner (DSCT) to noninvasively image these plaques compared to invasive ultrasound (the current standard).
