Abstract

Cardiovascular computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) allows for the comprehensive analysis of a variety of cardiovascular diseases. Reading CCTA scans in many ways is easier than interpreting invasive cardiac angiography or echocardiography, as the data are obtained as one 3D data cube in the axial plane. The focus of this chapter is to orient the reader to viewing and analyzing CCTA images.
