In recent years, computed tomography technology has progressed to a stage that allows relatively reliable visualization of the coronary artery lumen after intravenous injection of a contrast agent ("coronary CT angiography", "coronary CTA"). Based on the axial cross-sections that are acquired, 2- ...
Coronary CT angiography for screening of asymptomatic persons (including routine testing of asymptomatic heart transplant recipients), evaluation of atherosclerotic burden, evaluation of persons at high pre-test probability of coronary artery disease, identification of vulnerable plaques, monitoring of atheroma...
In nearly 5,300 patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), adjunctive use of CT-based fractional flow reserve software significantly reduced the 90-day invasive coronary angiography (ICA) rate in comparison to unassisted use of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). ...

It is advised that CT coronary angiography should be the method of choice for ruling out obstructive coronary stenoses (OCS) to avoid patients having to experience an invasive angiogram. However, this should only be advised for patients with a pretest probability for CHD of 50% or lower. ...

Coronary CT angiography The most common reason for cardiac CT is to look for narrowing or blockage of coronary arteries. In some patients, this study may replace, or determine the need for, invasive catheter angiograms of the coronary arteries. This requires a relatively slow heart rate to avoi...

Numerous cardiovascular biomarkers representing different pathological pathways improve prediction of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD) and coronary artery disease (CAD), but few are used clinically.Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is increasingly being used in clinical practice and now...
Non-invasive imaging:Cardiac CT beyond coronary angiography: current and emerging non-coronary cardiac applications Within the last decade, non-invasive assessment of the coronary arteries using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) has emerged as the newest applicati...
