Cardiac CT

“…Cardiac CT is defi ned in this guideline as the imaging of anatomy, function, coronary calcium, noncalcifi ed plaque, and congenital heart disease. 3 ). Level 2 allows independent performance and interpretation of cardiac CT and requires 8 weeks (each consisting of at least 35 h) of cumulative training in a clinical cardiac CT laboratory plus 150 contrast-enhanced and 50 noncontrast cardiac CT examinations.…”

“…An alternative approach that markedly improves temporal resolution is dual-source CT, which allows a 50% reduction in the length of the reconstruction window, regardless of the heart rate ( Fig. 3 ). In this way, dual-source CT markedly reduces heart-rate dependence.…”
