Coronary CT angiography (CTA) is rapidly changing the patient-care algorithms used to detect coronary artery disease, as well as the approach we take in risk-factor assessment and in the triage of patients. The rapid adoption of coronary CTA into clinical practice has been fueled by significant yearly advances in CT technology, which have improved the spatial and temporal resolution of this technique while simultaneously decreasing radiation exposure.
