Coronary CT Angiography: Applications

With the widespread use of coronary CT angiography, new potential clinical indications are constantly being explored. Currently, 64-slice multidetector-row CT and dual-source CT are the benchmark for noninvasive coronary CT angiography; however, new technologies are already on the horizon. While significant obstacles still remain to be overcome, coronary CT angiography is closer than ever to fulfilling its promise of replacing invasive techniques in appropriate patient populations.
