Schuetz: CT vs. MRI for the Diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease

In Metatron: Meta-analysis for Classification Data and Correction to Imperfect Reference

Description

Data from Schuetz (2010) of the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD),used conventional coronary angiography as the reference standard. Among the total 103 studies, 84 evaluated only the accuracy of CT, 14 evaluated only MRI, and 5 studies evaluated both.
