Abstract

Myocardial perfusion computed tomography (CTP) is a promising imaging technique on the verge of expanding the capabilities of CT. Especially, the capability of CTP to enable quantitative evaluations may provide a more accurate assessment of the hemodynamic significance of CAD. Two different approaches currently used are discussed in this chapter: 1. Dual energy CT 2. Dynamic, time-resolved quantitative imaging.
