This session will show how optimizing patient-centric contrast delivery and moving from fixed to individualized protocols can standardize coronary opacification and ensure consistently diagnostic coronary CT for CAD across different patients and scanners.
Coronary CT for CAD: Ensuring Diagnostic Quality Through Patient-Centric Contrast Delivery
ELISEO VAÑÓ GALVÁN, Madrid / Spain
Understand the key clinical reasons why coronary CT image quality and coronary opacification are critical for CAD decision-making.
Identify the main patient-, scanner- and injection-related determinants of coronary opacification in routine practice.
Describe how to move from fixed-dose to patient-adapted contrast protocols to achieve consistent, diagnostic coronary CT across different patients and scanners.
