Role of Coronary CT Angiography in Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection

“…Minimum intensity projection images aid the detection of myocardial hypoperfusion. Concurrent static perfusion image analysis can be performed in all coronary CT angiographic studies as detailed in a recent expert consensus document published by the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (32). Multiphase image acquisition allows assessment of myocardial function and regional wall motion abnormality and also mitigates the effects of motion artifact in the assessment of coronary arteries (28).…”

“…The last twelve months have seen several important advances for cardiovascular CT. The European Society of Cardiology guideline on chronic coronary syndromes were published, whilst the SCCT published its expert guidelines on CT perfusion, both providing an impetuous to greater utilization and expansion of the indications for cardiac CT. 2 , 3 …”

“…The last twelve months have seen several important advances for cardiovascular CT. The European Society of Cardiology guideline on chronic coronary syndromes were published, whilst the SCCT published its expert guidelines on CT perfusion, both providing an impetuous to greater utilization and expansion of the indications for cardiac CT. 2,3 Stephan Achenbach, President-Elect of the ESC, and past-President of the SCCT, led delegates through the updated ESC guideline highlighting the significant advances CT and why this technique has a prominent role in the new guidelines. In the 2013 guideline coronary CTA received a Class IIa/Level C evidence recommendation only for patients with low pre-test probability patients or with inconclusive stress testing.…”
