Cardiac computerized tomography (CT) has evolved from a research tool to an
important diagnostic investigation in cardiology, and is now recommended in
European, US, and UK guidelines. This review is designed to give the reader an
overview of the current state of cardiac CT. The role of cardiac CT is
multifaceted, and includes risk stratification, disease detection, coronary
plaque quantification, defining congenital heart disease, planning for structural
intervention, and, more recently, assessment of ischemia. This paper addresses
basic principles as well as newer evidence.
