Assessment of TAG320 with a 320-detector row CT provides acceptable prediction of invasive FFR and may provide a noninvasive modality for detecting functionally significant coronary stenoses. Combined TAG320 and CCTA assessment may have incremental predictive value over CCTA alone for detecting functionally significant coronary arterial stenoses; however, larger studies are required to determine the benefit of combined TAG320 and CCTA assessment.

Computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging is moderately accurate in identifying perfusion defects associated with ischaemia as assessed by FFR in patients considered for revascularization. In territories, where CTA and CTP are concordant, CTA/CTP is highly accurate in the detection and exclusion of ischaemia. This is achievable with acceptable radiation exposure using 320-detector row CT and prospective ECG gating.

Noninvasive quantification of laryngeal movement was achieved using CT larynx. Significant numbers of patients with difficult-to-treat asthma had excessive narrowing of the vocal cords. This new approach has identified frequent upper airway dysfunction in asthma with potential implications for disease control and treatment.

In suspected coronary artery disease, combined coronary CTA + CTP identifies patients with hemodynamically significant stenoses with >90% accuracy compared with FFR. When interpreted with coronary CTA, visual perfusion assessment provided superior incremental value in the detection of FFR-significant stenoses compared with the quantitative transmural perfusion ratio assessment.
