Lumen-isodense coronary plaque – A challenge for coronary computed tomography (CTA), leading to inaccuracies in stenosis grading?

Coronary plaque with equal density to the coronary lumen (lumens-isodense) are frequent (12.7% prevalence) on coronary CTA. The discordance rate to invasive coronary angiography (ICA) is relatively high. Lumens isodense plaques should be reported to raise awareness for possible inaccuracies in stenosis grading.
