Coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) is a noninvasive imaging technique used to evaluate the coronary arteries. A new study found CCTA to be highly accurate for detecting at least moderate coronary artery disease. CCTA correctly identified the presence of at least moderate coronary artery disease in 91% of patients and correctly ruled out disease in 83% of patients.
