CT Angiography: A New Crossroad?

11/05/2009

Matthew J. Budoff , MD;

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) has evolved rapidly over the last 20 years. Not long ago, the only proven utility of cardiac CT was the “mammogram of the heart,” allowing risk stratification and identification of early atherosclerosis.1 As...
