FFR-CT advancements improve non-invasive coronary assessment

Applied RadiologyJun 16

New FFR-CT techniques enhance non-invasive detection of hemodynamically significant coronary stenosis, potentially reducing diagnostic catheterizations. Recent refinements include improved computational fluid dynamics and integration with photon-counting CT, though exact sensiti…
