The purpose of the present study was to directly compare the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and multislice computed tomography (CT) for the detection of coronary artery stenosis. Both imaging modalities have emerged as potential noninvasive coronary imaging modalities; howev...
