Abstract

The review article highlights the main stages of the formation of computed tomography (CT) as a key method used in modern cardiology. The progress of CT scanners is directly related to the increase in the number of detectors, and thus, with an increase in the number of simultaneously collected projections. Modern developments and future technologies in the field of further development of the technique, including CT angiography and other new methods for assessing coronary blood flow, are discussed. The use of artificial intelligence technologies may make it possible to improve and accelerate the interpretation of the resulting images in the future, especially if it is economically justified.
