Brief Summary: To compare the efficacy of 16-row multi-detector CT MDCT with standard myocardial perfusion imaging in detecting coronary artery disease CAD in patients without a previously established diagnosis of CAD
Detailed Description: Nuclear stress testing is currently the established non-invasive modality in detecting flow-obstructing coronary artery disease CAD

Recently multi-detector CT MDCT has emerged as a new modality that offers a non-invasive means to directly visualize coronary anatomy and any CAD Studies have shown that MDCT has excellent sensitivity and a high negative predictive value in detecting significant CAD

The purpose of this study is to compare MDCT with nuclear stress testing for detecting CAD in previously undiagnosed patients
