Cardiac computed tomography (CT) has evolved greatly over the last 20 years. This article reviews its current clinical uses, and describes some of the potential for even greater utility in the near future. Electron beam tomography (EBT) was developed 20 years ago specifically for cardiac imaging. Although the technique can quantify ventricular anatomy and function as well as myocardial perfusion… View more

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) afflicts greater than 70 million patients in the US alone, and accounts for over half of all deaths. Non-invasive cardiac imaging modalities are used to provide enhanced methods of diagnosis of CVD, guidance of patient-specific therapy, and prognostication of cardiac-related risk. Non-invasive cardiovascular imaging has traditionally been stratified into two distinct… View more

Cardiac computed tomography (CT), and in particular computed tomographic coronary angiography (CTCA), stand poised to revolutionize the way in which cardiac pathology is diagnosed, and change the way in which decisions are made with regards to invasive treatment of cardiac disease. In particular, the diagnosis of coronary disease (the number one killer of patients in modern societies) will be… View more
