  • Title: The utility of cardiac CT beyond the assessment of suspected coronary artery disease.
    Author: Kakouros N, Giles J, Crundwell NB, McWilliams ET.
    Journal: Clin Radiol; 2012 Jul; 67(7):695-708. PubMed ID: 22316592.
    Abstract:
    Extensive work has been done over recent years to improve the spatial and temporal resolution of electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated cardiac computed tomography (CT). Advances in both hardware and software analysis have enabled the development of non-invasive coronary angiography. However, these high-quality examinations lend themselves to multiple additional applications beyond coronary angiography. In this review, we illustrate and discuss some established and some emerging applications of ECG-gated cardiac CT beyond the assessment of suspected coronary disease, particularly in light of recent recommendations on the appropriate use of this technology.
