CT myocardial perfusion imaging: current status and future perspectives

Dong Hyun Yang et al. Int J Cardiovasc Imaging. 2017 Jul.

Abstract

Computed tomography myocardial perfusion (CTP) combined with coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) may constitute a "1-stop shop" for the noninvasive diagnosis of hemodynamically significant coronary stenosis during a single CT examination. CTP shows high diagnostic performance and provides incremental value over CCTA for the detection of hemodynamically significant coronary stenosis in patients with a high Agatston calcium score or coronary artery stents. Future studies should determine the optimal protocol and clinical value of CTP for guiding revascularization strategy and prognostication. In this article, we review the current status and future perspectives of CTP, focusing on technical considerations, clinical applications, and future research topics.

Keywords: Computed tomography; Coronary artery disease; Fractional flow reserve; Myocardial ischemia; Myocardial perfusion.
