§ Noninvasive CVCT and CVMR are useful adjuncts to interventional cardiology practice § CCT has rapidly revolutionized clinical algorithms§ Latest 3rd Generation MDCT scanners will further advance clinical care. Lower radiation dose with high image quality is the goal. New DATA is necessary§ New advances in MRI: plaque characterization, MRA sequences will challenge MDCT§ Interventional Cardiology suit is actively changing: CT and MR multiplanar soft tissue and angiographic visualization capabilities
