The use of fractional flow reserve (FFR) is useful to determine the significance of coronary lesions. The ability to perform this physiologicalevaluation in a noninvasive base is an interesting alternative.The primary objective of the study was to compare the noninvasive FFRusing multislice CT versus  invasive FFR. 357 patients were included in this multicenter study succeeded to demonstrate that the noninvasive FFR can improve diagnostic specificity of CT only.
