In diagnostic imaging, computed tomographic cardiac angiography, also called CT coronary angiography, is a form of x-ray computed tomography for examining the coronary arteries.
Interpreters may need one year of experience to gain proficiency.[1]
Roles in diagnostic imaging
Coronary heart disease
Computed tomographic cardiac angiography (CT cardiac angiography) uses multidetector spiral computed tomography for diagnosing coronary heart disease.[2][3][4][5] The physiologic significance of obstructions estimated to be 60% to 80% is difficult to predict.[6]
Computed tomographic cardiac angiography has accuracy of:[7]
- Sensitivity 97.2% (95% CI, 96.2% to 98.0%)
- Specificity 87.4% (CI, 84.5% to 89.8%)
| Patients | Scanner | Per patient | Per segment | Negative predictive value (per patient) | ||||

Bacterial endocarditis
Computed tomographic cardiac angiography can detect vegetations and abscesses/pseudoaneurysms of bacterial endocarditis, but not leaflet perforations, almost as well as transesophageal echocardiography.[12]
Adverse effects
Radiation
The radiation dose is estimated to be "1.2 x the dose of an abdominal CT study or 600 chest x-rays."[13]
