Annals of Biomedical Engineering. FFRCT and iFRCT may support non-invasive ischemia assessment, but reliability gaps remain. Non-invasive Computational Techniques for Diagnosing Myocardial Ischemia: Challenges and Future of FFRCT/iFRCT Can CT-based flow models diagnose myocardial ischemia non-invasively? Two computational techniques reviewed: FFRCT vs iFRCT. Ischemia from fluid dynamics: Coronary CT → Computational fluid dynamics → Ischemia diagnosis. Promise with ongoing challenges: Non-invasive, RCT efficacy, Reliability gaps. Bottom line: RCTs support FFRCT/iFRCT in select patients, but reliability gaps persist.
