    CT imaging offers non-invasive, reliable detection of coronary atherosclerosis and luminal narrowing in coronary artery disease.

  • 2

    CT demonstrates high diagnostic accuracy compared to invasive coronary angiography, improving patient outcomes in clinical trials.

  • 3

    CT enhances early detection of non-obstructive CAD, leading to increased preventive therapy and reduced cardiovascular events.

  • 4

    CT aids in determining treatment strategies for obstructive CAD, resulting in reduced revascularization rates without compromising outcomes.

  • 5

    Future research should focus on expanding CT's application beyond stable chest pain patients to enhance its clinical utility.
