Abstract

Coronary artery disease is the most common cause of cardiac ischemia and a leading cause of death globally. There are multiple imaging modalities which can assess cardiac ischemia, in particular coronary CT calcium score, coronary CT angiography, and cardiac MRI. Each of these modalities offers insight into the overall patient picture. However, coronary CT and cardiac MRI are not free from limitations. This article will review the roles of CT and MRI in cardiac imaging, mimics, technical limitations, and potential pitfalls that may be encountered.
