Cardiac CT: Competition, complimentary or confounder.
Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences 2024 March 3
Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) has been gradually adopted into clinical practice over the last two decades. CCTA has high diagnostic accuracy, prognostic value, and unique features such as assessment of plaque composition. CCTA-derived functional assessment techniques such as fractional flow reserve and CT perfusion are also available and can increase the diagnostic specificity of the modality. These properties propound CCTA as a competitor of functional testing in diagnosis of obstructive CAD, however, utilizing CCTA in a concomitant fashion to potentiate the performance of the latter can lead to better patient care and may provide more accurate prognostic information. Although multiple diagnostic challenges such as evaluation of calcified segments, stents, and small distal vessels still exist, the technologic developments in hardware as well as growing incorporation of artificial intelligence to daily practice are all set to augment the diagnostic and prognostic role of CCTA in cardiovascular disorders.
