Abstract
The development of larger multidetector computed tomography (CT) systems has allowed increased accuracy in quantifying obstructive lesions involving the coronary arteries. This article reviews the accuracy of coronary CT angiography (CTA) in quantifying obstructive lesions, evaluating the extent of coronary artery disease, and classifying the composition of coronary plaques. In addition, several outcomes studies and some promising automated techniques for quantifying coronary CTA are reviewed.
