“…7 In comparison to other imaging modalities, CT is superior to fluoroscopy and transesophageal echocardiography to depict the number of PV ostia. 8,9 CT offers the advantage of rapid data acquisition, decreased cardiac motion when ECG-gating is used and isotropic sets to allow multiplanar image reformats. Information concerning the number, size, and distance of the first branch to the pulmonary vein ostium, and the presence of anatomic PV variants are becoming less important to help select the size of the catheters used to perform the ablation procedure than in the past due to advances in electrophysiology technology.…”

The cardiac computed tomography (CT) practice guidelines provide an updated review of the technological improvements since the publication of the first Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) cardiac CT practice guidelines in 2009. An overview of the current evidence supporting the use of cardiac CT in the most common clinical scenarios, standards of practice to optimize patient preparation and safety as well as image quality are described. Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) is the focus of Part I. In Part II, an overview of cardiac CT for non-coronary indications that include valvular and pericardial imaging, tumour and mass evaluation, pulmonary vein imaging, and imaging of congenital heart disease for diagnosis and treatment monitoring are discussed. The guidelines are intended to be relevant for community hospitals and large academic centres with established cardiac CT imaging programs.
