Coronary CT for CAD: Ensuring Diagnostic Quality Through Patient-Centric Contrast Delivery (Complete Session)
60:00Lion Stammen, Maastricht / NL, Martin Weber Kusk, Esbjerg / DK, Antonio Castellaccio, Madrid / ES
Session Objective: Ensure that, when coronary CT informs CAD decision-making, all determinants of coronary opacification are actively controlled so examinations are consistently diagnostic across patients and scanners.

Proposed Outline:
Why coronary CT quality matters
Clinical applications of coronary CT in CAD
What drives coronary opacification: patient factors; scanner factors (e.g., kV, spectral CT); injection parameters (pressure, IDR [iodine delivery rate], viscosity)
Transitioning from fixed-dose to patient-adapted protocols: examples comparing fixed versus personalized approaches (with emphasis on contrast media dosing, standardized injection protocols, and image quality)
