摘要
Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) provides high accuracy for noninvasive assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD). The introduction of the latest computed tomography (CT) technology allows comprehensive evaluation of various aspects of CAD, including the coronary calcium score, coronary artery stenoses, bypass patency, and myocardial function. Other applications, such as plaque characterization, first-pass perfusion imaging, and viability imaging using delayed contrast enhancement, are still under development and may demonstrate clinical utility in the future. Further improvements in CT hardware and imaging protocols are expected that may result in improved coronary artery imaging, new applications, and a significant reduction of radiation dose.
