Abstract:
:Cardiac CT offers several approaches to establish the hemodynamic severity of coronary artery obstructions. Dynamic myocardial perfusion CT (MPICT) is based on serial CT imaging to measure the inflow of contrast medium into the myocardium and calculate absolute measures of myocardial perfusion. This review describes the MPICT acquisition protocol, post-image acquisition processing and calculation of quantitative parameters, the diagnostic performance of MPICT and the potential incremental value of this technique in comparison to alternative approaches. Further technical innovation using different scanner platforms and establishment of reproducible diagnostic thresholds to differentiate significant coronary artery disease will be crucial in the path to broader clinical implementation.
