The use of CTA in primary prevention patients is more controversial, because the Bayes theorem becomes important in considering diagnostic test interpretation in populations with a low prevalence of disease. Foreword [0.03%]
序言：在 primary prevention患者中使用CTA更有争议性，因为在Bayes理论下，在疾病患病率低的人群中考虑诊断测试结果解读变得很重要。
