Excerpt

Technological advances have led to increased utilization of computed tomography (CT) for cardiovascular imaging. Common indications include coronary calcium assessment, detection of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) with coronary CT angiography (CCTA), and for attenuation correction (CTAC) when using myocardial perfusion imaging with single-photon emission-computed tomography (SPECT) or positron emission tomography (PET).1 CTAC is known to improve diagnostic accuracy by reducing attenuation artifact and has been shown to improve the specificity of SPECT and PET in the detection of obstructive CAD.1 …
