Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last several decades, emerging cardiovascular imaging techniques, such as cardiac magnetic resonance and cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA), have led to the improved diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. This Special Issue aims to explore the ability of CCTA as a cutting-edge imaging modality to improve diagnosis and outcomes in patients with cardiac disorders. Special attention will be given to papers that investigate the ability to use CCTA and artificial intelligence for the diagnostic classification and risk stratification of patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease.
We hope to collect papers exploring the latest research findings and clinical applications of these imaging techniques. Furthermore, the Special Issue will address the challenges and limitations faced by cardiovascular imaging and propose potential solutions and discuss future diagnostic and therapeutic applications of cardiovascular imaging. These advancements will revolutionize cardiovascular care by providing more accurate and detailed information about myocardium and coronary circulation.
Overall, this Special Issue aims to provide readers with an overview of current CCTA applications, highlighting its significance in the diagnosis, management, and prevention of cardiovascular diseases, while also exploring the potential of future developments in this rapidly evolving field.
