Abstract EN
The past two decades have witnessed rapid and remarkable technical improvement of multidetector computed tomography (CT) in both image quality and diagnostic accuracy.
These improvements include higher temporal resolution, high-definition and wider detectors, the introduction of dual-source and dual-energy scanners, and advanced postprocessing.
Current new generation multidetector row (≥64 slices) CT systems allow an accurate and reliable assessment of both coronary epicardial stenosis and myocardial CT perfusion (CTP) imaging at rest and during pharmacologic stress in the same examination.
This novel application makes CT the unique noninvasive “one-stop-shop” method for a comprehensive assessment of both anatomical coronary atherosclerosis and its physiological consequences.
Myocardial CTP imaging can be performed with different approaches such as static arterial first-pass imaging, and dynamic CTP imaging, with their own advantages and disadvantages.
Static CTP can be performed using single-energy or dual-energy CT, employing qualitative or semiquantitative analysis.
In addition, dynamic CTP can obtain quantitative data of myocardial blood flow and coronary flow reserve.
The purpose of this review was to summarize all available evidence about the emerging role of myocardial CTP to identify ischemia-associated lesions, focusing on technical considerations, clinical applications, strengths, limitations, and the more promising future fields of interest in the broad spectra of ischemic heart disease.
