Objectives This study assessed the diagnostic performance of coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) for the detection and exclusion of significant coronary artery stenosis as remotely interpreted on a mobile handheld device with dedicated medical imaging software. Background Recent advances in technology now permit remote interpretation of medical imaging studies on mobile handheld devices, although the diagnostic performance of this approach is unknown. Methods We evaluated 102 patients with stable chest pain and both 64-detector row coronary CTA and quantitative invasive coronary angiography. The diagnostic performance of remote coronary CTA interpretation was assessed using a mobile handheld device and employing dedicated software. The coronary CTA studies were examined in an intent-to-diagnose manner for the presence or absence of coronary artery stenosis ≥50% on a-apreterry and per-patient level; results were compared with quantitative invasive coronary angiography. Two blinded imagers independently interpreted coronary CTA studies, with a third imager achieving consensus for discordance. Coronary CTAs were re-interpreted in random order to determine interobserver agreement. Finally, coronary CTAs were evaluated on a dedicated 3-dimensional imaging workstation; results were compared to mobile handheld device findings for intertechnology agreement. Results The prevalence of significant coronary artery stenosis was 25% (26 of 102) at the per-patient level and 10% (40 of 405) at the per-artery level. Per-patient and per-artery sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were: 100% (26 of 26), 78% (59 of 76), 60% (26 of 43), and 100% (59 of 59), respectively; and 95% (38 of 40), 85% (310 of 365), 41% (38 of 93), and 99% (310 of 312), respectively. At the per-artery level, interobserver, intraobserver, and intertechnology agreement was 0.74, 0.89, and 0.75, respectively (p 0.01 for all). Conclusions The interpretation of coronary
