Cardiac computed tomography (CT) imaging really took off a decade ago with the introduction of 64-slice scanners, which today is the standard for most CT imaging. Many hospitals are now looking to replace their older 64-slice systems with newer technology, which may offer an even bigger boom in cardiac CT usage. 

The newest generation of scanners marketed for cardiac exams can perform routine, very-low-dose cardiac scans of 3 mSv or less. They use more sensitive detectors, faster gantry speed rotation, and the latest generation of iterative and model-based image reconstruction software. These technologies combine to enable low dose scans to be made at diagnostic quality at dose levels that would not have been possible just a few years ago. These technologies are the industry’s response to years of criticism by physicians and the general public over the high X-ray doses previously needed for cardiac CT scanning.
