Myocardial CT perfusion is clinically feasible, but substantial barriers limit routine adoption.
Recent developments in computed tomography (CT) technology have fulfilled the prerequisites for the clinical application of myocardial CT perfusion (CTP) imaging. The evaluation of myocardial perfusion by CT can be achieved by static or dynamic scan acquisitions. Although both approaches have proved clinically feasible, substantial barriers need to be overcome before its routine clinical application. The current review provides an outline of the current status of CTP imaging and also focuses on disparities between static and dynamic CTPs for the evaluation of myocardial blood flow.

Danad et al. (2016) conducted a review in Myocardial perfusion. Myocardial CT perfusion (CTP) imaging (static and dynamic) was evaluated. Myocardial CT perfusion imaging using static or dynamic scan acquisitions is clinically feasible, though substantial barriers remain before routine clinical application.
