Abstract

Several approaches in the past have aimed to combine anatomical and functional information about the myocardium in an effort to identify significant coronary artery disease and characterize ischemic heart disease. Recent developments in CT-technology have permitted the expansion of cardiac CT into new territories beyond coronary artery visualization. Introduction of dual-energy CT has demonstrated the ability to evaluate coronary anatomy, myocardial ischemia, and viability. It now appears possible to provide a comprehensive evaluation of ischemic heart disease through a single, stand-alone imaging modality. The presented review emphasizes the promising potential of cardiac dual-energy CT in clinical practice.
