Abstract
Over the past decade, there has been a rapid expansion in the use of cardiac CT as well as in the data supporting its application in a variety of clinical settings. This has led to an increasing inclusion of cardiac CT in the various guidelines, appropriate use criteria, and societal position statements. This article aims to review the use of CT in cardiovascular risk stratification, the diagnosis of coronary artery disease in various clinical settings including acute presentations, and the expanding role of CT in non-coronary indications with a focus on the guidelines and the data that impacts the clinical application of CT in these varied scenarios.
