Abstract
Current technological advances in multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) have widened the scope of cardiac CT in ischemic heart disease. Initially employed to determine the status of the coronary arteries, assessment of cardiac function, perfusion, and viability has now become a reality. In this article, basic concepts, technical advances, appropriate clinical indications, and current clinical role of cardiac MDCT in this specific clinical scenario are reviewed.
