Head-to-Head Comparison of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy-Intravascular Ultrasound and Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography in Assessing Atheroma Characteristics

This study provides a head-to-head comparison of near-infrared spectroscopy-intravascular ultrasound (NIRS-IVUS) and coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) for characterizing coronary atherosclerosis, revealing important differences in their ability to detect high-risk plaque features.
