Excerpt

The report by Dr. Han et al. [1] illustrates the spectrum of practice concerning the evaluation of cardiac function using computed tomography angiography over a 7 year span. Innovations during that time led to disparate radiation exposure results in the study groups which can be classified as the good, the bad and the ugly. …
