| Popis: | The application of cardiovascular CT imaging toward the detection, characterization, and prognostication of coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most rapidly evolving and exciting aspects of cardiovascular medicine. Coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) has revolutionized the diagnosis and management of coronary artery disease by providing new methods for noninvasive imaging of coronary arteries. Coronary arterial calcification of plaques, plaque progression, stenosis characterization, plaque analysis, and appropriate use criteria will be presented below. |
