Reliability and Accuracy of Peri-Interventional Stenosis Grading in Peripheral Artery Disease Using Color-Coded Quantitative Fluoroscopy: A Phantom Study Comparing a Clinical and Scientific Postprocessing Software

Purpose. To assess quantitative stenosis grading by color-coded fluoroscopy using an in vitro pulsatile flow phantom. Methods. Three different stenotic tubes (80%, 60%, and 40% diameter restriction) and a nonstenotic reference tube were compared regarding their different flow behavior by using contr...
