Abstract

Purpose of Review

Dynamic myocardial CT perfusion imaging (CTP) is an emerging new approach to establish the hemodynamic severity of coronary artery obstructions. Literature and consensus documents on its practical applicability are limited.

Recent Findings

Despite significant amount of literature supporting the diagnostic accuracy of dynamic CTP and its incremental value over CTA in the last decade, its use has been relatively limited.

Summary

Obstacles to its broader clinical use may include knowledge gaps associated with dynamic CTP imaging. We review patient preparation, scanning protocols, scanner requirements, optimization of the scan and image reconstruction, interpretation of the results, and the reported diagnostic performance of dynamic CTP.
