Coronary computed tomography angiography – getting the basics right

Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a non-invasive cardiovascular imaging modality that provides isotropic resolution of the coronary arteries and associated cardiac anatomy. The new generation of state-of-the-art cardiac-enabled CT scanners offers sub-millimetre spatial resolution of the coronary vasculature, allowing clinicians to detect the presence of coronary artery plaque with high sensitivity.
