Abstract
Technological advances in multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) like second-generation dual source scanners have made it possible to evaluate myocardial perfusion as well as the anatomy of the coronary arteries in patients with suspected coronary disease; until recently, this application was confined to other imaging modalities. In this brief communication, we report a cardiac CT imaging protocol that combines CT coronary angiography with the analysis of ventricular function, perfusion, and myocardial viability in a single examination, thereby enabling a comprehensive assessment of coronary disease.
