Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide, and various cardiovascular imaging modalities havebeen introduced for the purpose of diagnosing and determining the severity of CAD. More recently, advances in computed tomography(CT) technology have contributed to the widespread clinical application of cardiac CT for accurate and noninvasive evaluationof CAD. In this review, we focus on imaging assessment of CAD based upon CT, which includes coronary artery calciumscreening, coronary CT angiography, myocardial CT perfusion, and fractional flow reserve CT. Further, we provide a discussion regardingthe potential implications, benefits and limitations, as well as the possible future directions according to each modality.
