Computed tomography (CT) has been going through a dramatic evolution of technology in the past years. Cardiac CT has become reliably possible and benefits to a large extent from the continuous development. The technical advances directly translate into improved image quality, lower radiation exposure, and more versatile applications. CT angiography of the coronary arteries – often referred to as coronary CT angiography – has received tremendous interest and is now an established clinical tool in selected patients. In fact, it has the potential to greatly alter the way in which many patients with suspected coronary artery disease will be worked up.
