Coronary CT angiography combined with CT myocardial perfusion imaging (CT-MPI) enhances the detection of coronary artery stenosis and myocardial ischemia. This combined approach offers improved diagnostic and prognostic value for patients with obstructive coronary artery disease.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Imaging
- Radiology
- Cardiac Diagnostics
Background:
- Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) has limitations in detecting functional coronary artery stenosis.
- Myocardial ischemia detection is crucial for guiding revascularization therapy.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
