Case report demonstrates combined anatomical and functional cardiac evaluation in an unstable angina patient, indicating enhanced diagnostic value from single-session myocardial perfusion imaging.
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) could show the morphological status of coronary stenosis. Moreover, computed tomography (CT) myocardial perfusion (CTP) could provide additional information to identify hypoattenuating areas that might complement the limitation of CCTA in terms of evaluating the functional status, adding to the diagnostic performance of CCTA. We reported the imaging features of coronary artery disease in a female patient with a history of unstable angina by evaluating the anatomic and functional information through CCTA and CT myocardial perfusion in one stop modality.
