The technology of Cardiac hybrid imaging which couples computed tomography (CT) and nuclear stress testing can predict cardiac events like heart attacks in patients who have been evaluated for coronary artery disease. Cardiac hybrid imaging provides information on perfusion and stenosis by combining coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and single photon emission tomography (SPECT).
The study highlighting this technique has recently been published in the journal Radiology. Source: Imaging Technology News
