Abstract
Cardiac CT has undergone dramatic advances in technology with applications that include the assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD), evaluation of congenital abnormalities and structural function, and characterization of anatomy prior to valve and electrophysiology procedures. CT now permits the rapid acquisition of high quality data in the majority of patients using prospective (radiation-sparing) or retrospective ECG gating, with outstanding resolution of the coronary arteries as well as other cardiac structures.
