Abstract:
Various invasive and non-invasive imaging techniques have been used for the diagnosis of cardiac disease. The recently introduced multidetector row CT (MDCT) shows rapid scan speed, high temporal resolution and large volume coverage in a single breath-hold. MDCT opens a new horizon for cardiac imaging because noninvasive coronary artery imaging has become feasible using MDCT. In this article, we illustrate the technical aspects of coronary CT angiography using MDCT.
