Coronary CT Angiography is limited in assessing coronary plaques by resolution and blooming artefacts. Agreement between dual-source CT angiography and NIRS-IVUS is affected by a Ca burden for the per cent atheroma volume. Advanced CT imaging systems that eliminate blooming artefacts enable more accurate quantification of coronary artery disease and characterisation of plaque morphology.
