Coronary CT angiography is a versatile and reliable imaging modality for diagnosing and evaluating coronary artery disease, offering anatomical, quantitative, and functional insights.
CCTA enables detailed plaque characterization and perfusion assessment; leaves open its incremental value for guiding therapy or outcomes in CAD.
Coronary CT angiography is widely recognised as a reliable imaging modality for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Coronary CT angiography not only provides excellent visualisation of anatomical changes in the coronary artery with high diagnostic value in the detection of lumen stenosis or occlusion, but also offers quantitative characterisation of coronary plaque components. Furthermore, coronary CT angiography allows myocardial perfusion imaging with diagnostic value comparable to the reference standard method. Coronary CT angiographyderived haemodynamic analysis has the potential to evaluate functional significance of coronary lesions. This review article aims to provide an overview of clinical applications of coronary CT angiography in coronary artery disease.
