The two most important clinical indications for cardiac CT are calcium scoring and coronary CT angiography. CT may also be used to characterize coronary plaque and to evaluate cardiac function myocardial perfusion infarcts tumors pericardial disease postsurgical complications and congenital malformations 38 .

Sep 01 2021 Coronary artery disease CAD causes significant morbidity and mortality. Accurate noninvasive evaluation is important to facilitate appropriate diagnosis and treatment. The ubiquitous nature of CAD requires all practitioners regardless of their specialty to be familiar with noninvasive diagnostic modalities. This article reviews currently available tests including
Indications for Cardiac Catheterization and Intervention in Pediatric Cardiac Disease. cardiac catheterization has its limitations. Angiographic imaging for the most part is limited to 2 simultaneous imaging planes and 3 dimensional reconstruction from angiographic data is still in development. Other imaging modalities CT/MRI
thermore cardiac CT enables visualization of portions of the mediastinum lungs pleura and chest wall and thus may allow the detection of other transplantation related complications such as malignancy or infection 17 . We have found cardiac CT useful for a wide variety of indications in heart transplant recipi
Mar 12 2008 Indications and Limitations of Coverage. B. Determining Whether a CT Scan Is Reasonable and Necessary. Sufficient information must be provided with claims to differentiate CT scans from other radiology services and to make coverage determinations.
Compared with CT cardiac catheterization has a higher complication rate owing to its invasive nature 4 5 typically requires a larger volume of intravascular contrast material more frequently requires general anesthesia and often imparts greater radiation dose to the patient when appropriate pediatric CT protocols are used .
Aug 18 2017 Main indications CTCA is mainly used but has significant limitations. Referrers need to be aware that the value of cardiac CT lies in its potential to exclude the presence of coronary artery atherosclerosis in patients with no biochemical or electrocardiographic markers of ischaemia. A normal study gives a 99 probability that no

Sep 01 2007 CT of the Transplanted Heart. Technological advances in multidetector CT have made it an important imaging modality for noninvasive cardiac evaluation 11 12 .Multidetector CT allows visualization of the coronary artery walls and lumen 11 .Therefore it can be used for detection and characterization of the luminal narrowing and wall thickening that occur with
of the patient limitations of available resources or advances in knowledge or technology subsequent to Parameter for the Performance and Interpretation of Cardiac Computed Tomography CT 1 . INDICATIONS. The primary goals of cardiac PET/CT imaging include evaluation of perfusion function viability inflammation
Limitations of the study include heavy coronary artery calcification which obscures detail of the vessel lumen. Tachyarrhythmia also reduces the efficacy of the examination. In some centres a preliminary CT calcium score study non contrast low dose CT is used to screen patients with too much calcified plaque to allow an adequate CTCA study.
Jul 01 2019 Indications for cardiac magnetic resonance imaging . Cardiac magnetic resonance CMR is a very versatile imaging modality. Unlike nuclear cardiology and cardiac CT As long as these limitations are kept in mind and patient safety maintained at all times CMR offers us a uniquely wide ranging imaging modality that can help us address a
