The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, tolerability, safety, and image quality of low-radiation, dynamic perfusion CT of the heart in patients with suspected ischemic chest pain and a moderate or severe stenosis seen on coronary CTA. Secondary aims include the assessment of the diagnostic accuracy of CT perfusion imaging compared to either SPECT or invasive angiography.

Number of Treatment-related Adverse Events
Demonstrate that CTA with stress and rest perfusion imaging using Lexiscan as the coronary vasodilator will be safe and well tolerated. This outcome measure data value represents the number of adverse events that occurred during this study.
Time frame: 30 days +/- 3 days
Diagnostic Accuracy Using Quantitative Objective Image Quality Assessment
Assess the diagnostic accuracy of CT perfusion imaging compared to either SPECT or invasive angiography.
Time frame: Immediately following CT perfusion imaging.
