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 function1 as well as myocardial… View more

Cardiac output (CO) is a fundamental measure for the assessment of cardiac performance and is applied widely to detect the presence of cardiovascular disease and monitor its progression, as well as to monitor patients in challenging hemodynamic circumstances and to optimize therapy. CO is a key parameter in characterizing a patient’s hemodynamic state. For example, a notable characteristic of… View more
