“…In response, professional societies have fulfilled the important responsibility of developing practice standards. These societies have prepared Clinical Guidelines, Expert Consensus Documents, and Multi-Societal Appropriateness Criteria for the proper use of coronary CT Angiography (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8). These documents provide the basis for the medical community to practice evidence-based medicine and appropriate imaging utilization for the community's shared fundamental goal: to identify the most appropriate imaging modality for specific clinical scenarios.…”

“…After that, post-processing is conducted to optimize the evaluation of each coronary segment using multiple reconstruction techniques. Lastly, certificated cardiologists or radiologists interpret all the axial and reconstructed images and sign the reports 3,4 . The same procedure happens everyday in China and the United States, but there are differences in the practice patterns for each component of CCTA examination among countries.…”

Abstract. Background/Aim: To evaluate the hypothesis that patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) assessed using rest dual-energy computed tomography-derived myocardial perfusion imaging (DECT-P), could have fewer invasive coronary angiographies (ICA),Current guidelines in the management of stable coronary artery disease (CAD) recommend a non-invasive functional test before considering invasive coronary angiography (ICA) for patients with intermediate pre-test probability (1). Due to the high sensitivity and negative predictive value, coronary computed tomography angiography (cCTA) is a clinically-established noninvasive diagnostic imaging modality to rule-out CAD. However, the specificity and positive predictive value of cCTA is still limited due to the poor correlation of cCTA-detected coronary artery stenosis and myocardial ischaemia.One avenue for assessment of the myocardial blood supply consists of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) acquisitions during first-pass arterial enhancement. Dualenergy computed tomography-derived myocardial perfusion imaging (DECT-P) is a "one-stop shop" approach closing the gap between anatomical and functional aspects within a single imaging modality and could reduce false-positive results of cCTA (2). As rest DECT-P is derived from the same datasets as standard cCTA, it requires no additional contrast media, radiation exposure, or stress agents, which represents a substantial advantage, when compared to stress protocols. Studies have compared DECT-P with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ICA in rest or rest-stress acquisition with first or second generation dual-source scanners and found an incremental value over cCTA alone (3-6). However, the data for rest-only acquisition in DECT-P is rather sparse and needs further investigation regarding the clinical utility and its effect on patient care in a real clinical setting.Thus, the purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that patients with suspected CAD evaluated using a rest DECT-P strategy would potentially have fewer coronary angiographies without obstructive CAD than patients who were evaluated based on standard cCTA protocols.
