In this episode, Barbara Srichai-Parsia, MD, FACC, Ron Blankstein, MD, FACC and Roosha Parikh, MD, FACC, will focus on the value of fractional flow reserve – computed tomography (FFR-CT) and emerging technologies in streamlining clinical workflow and improving diagnosis. Learners will hear tips on when FFR-CT is most useful, its limitations in specific patient populations, and how artificial intelligence (AI) advances in coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) could shape care for patients and clinicians. Practical, evidence-based insights for anyone using cardiac imaging.

This podcast is part of the larger Modern CCTA Practice: Core Competencies and Advanced Technologies grant initiative, supported by Heartflow. To visit the Modern CCTA Practice webpage and access additional educational activities on this topic, click here.
