Anatomy and Terminology for the Interpretation and Reporting of Cardiac MDCT: Part 2, CT Angiography, Cardiac Function Assessment, and Noncoronary and Extracardiac Findings

¹ All authors: Division of Cardiothoracic Radiology, Department of Radiology, University of Michigan Health System, Cardiovascular Center, Rm. 5481, 1500 E Medical Center Dr., Ann Arbor, MI 48109-5868.

OBJECTIVE. In this part 2 of our two-part article, we aim to describe the evaluation and interpretation of coronary CTA, cardiac structures, and cardiac functional assessment using an approach similar to the reporting of catheter angiography and echocardiography.

CONCLUSION. The superb resolution and the isotropic image data acquisition of ECG-gated coronary CT angiography (CTA) enable evaluation of the coronary arteries and cardiac anatomy in any selected plane. The consistent use of standard terminology when reporting cardiac CT findings is part of a structured and comprehensive coronary CTA report.

Keywords: cardiac CT • cardiac function • coronary CT angiography
