Abstract

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) has evolved over the past 20 years from an alternative, promising noninvasive imaging modality to a Class I indication for the non-invasive evaluation of patients with low-to-intermediate, pre-test probability of coronary artery disease (CAD), as per the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines published in 2019 [...].
