Abstract
The introduction of fast multi-slice CT represents a break-through in CT technology in the cardiac imaging field. For the first time, widely available CT systems can be used for non-invasive diagnosis of cardiac diseases including the reproducible assessment of atherosclerotic coronary calcifications and the CT angiographic evaluation of general cardiac diseases, coronary artery disease and cardiac function. Various cardiac acquisition and reconstruction techniques were discussed for a “state-of-the-art” four-slice spiral CT scanner with 0.5-s rotation time (SOMATOM Volume Zoom — HeartView, Siemens, Forchheim, Germany) and clinical results have been presented for various clinical applications.
