Abstract:
Computed tomographic coronary angiography (CTA) has rapidly evolved to a level where it can be used not only for the diagnosis or exclusion of coronary artery disease, but also to a stage at which the value of CTA derived images in the catheterization laboratory during invasive procedures is under examination. This review will examine the possible role of CTA in selection of patients for invasive coronary angiography (ICA), in the planning of diagnostic ICA in patients who have undergone previous revascularization and the role of CTA in planning percutaneous interventional and surgical procedures.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
