Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) has become an important part of current cardiovascular care and is the first-choice imaging modality for noninvasive visualization of coronary artery plaque and stenosis. It has high sensitivity for the detection of coronary stenosis and excellent negative predictive value to rule out stenosis with consistently high image quality at low radiation doses. In this article, we point out the technical aspects of modern coronary CT imaging, give a comprehensive overview of coronary CTA interpretation, including standardized reporting, and point out body of evidence for current clinical use.
