Cardiac computed tomography (CCT) has become an important tool for the anatomic assessment of patients with suspected coronary disease. Its diagnostic accuracy for detecting the presence of underlying coronary artery disease and ability to risk stratify patients are well documented. However, the role of CCT for the physiologic assessment of myocardial perfusion during resting and stress conditions is only now emerging. With the addition of myocardial perfusion imaging to coronary imaging, CCT has the potential to assess both coronary anatomy and its functional significance with a single non-invasive test. In this review, we discuss the current state of CCT myocardial perfusion imaging for the detection of myocardial ischemia and myocardial infarction and examine its complementary role to CCT coronary imaging.
