Technological Developments

Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) is a method used to eliminate the possibility of coronary heart disease in a patient without an invasive procedure. Technological developments mean that CTA also produces less radiation than ever before, making it safer for both the patient and the practitioner. This chapter covers the principles and protocols in cardiac computed tomography (CT), guidance on interpreting the resulting images, and summarizes studies on the use of CT after various interventional procedures.
