Technological advancements have enabled high-resolution noninvasive coronary angiography.
Multislice computed tomography (CT) is a key technology in this field.
Appropriateness guidelines for its use have been published and endorsed.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the current clinical evidence supporting noninvasive coronary angiography.
To highlight the role of multislice CT in diagnosing coronary artery disease.
To identify specific diagnostic situations where this method is most valuable.

Main Methods:

Review of recently published clinical studies.
Analysis of appropriateness guidelines from major cardiology and imaging societies.
