Abstract

Computed tomography become available in 1973 and within a few years was accepted as a useful diagnostic technique in nearly every organ system. The heart, however, was the exception because long exposures (over 1 second) produced motion blurred images. Although ECG gating was possible it proved impractical. Conventional CT nevertheless has been undervalued by most radiologists and cardiologists who have little or no experience with cardiac CT. The recent development of Ultrafast CT should rapidly change this concept1.
