A low-dose comprehensive cardiac CT protocol assessing anatomy, function, perfusion, and viability.

ABSTRACT: Radiation exposure in cardiac imaging is a major healthcare concern and low-dose cardiac imaging has important implications for patients. We describe the application of a low-dose comprehensive cardiac computed tomography protocol that assesses anatomy, function, perfusion and viability with correlations to invasive coronary angiography and magnetic resonance imaging.
