Excerpt

With the current advances in imaging technology and changes in patient demographics, computed tomography (CT) has become an important part of nuclear cardiology practice for improving the diagnosis and prognostication of patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). CT is used in nuclear cardiology for performing accurate attenuation correction (AC) along with a coronary artery calcium score (CACS). In addition, multiple nuclear cardiology exams now rely on CT for localizing radiotracer uptake in single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) cardiovascular procedures, including fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) hotspot imaging. Due to these clinical advances, CT systems are now incorporated within newer Anger as well as Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) nuclear systems. …
