Multislice Computed Tomography (MSCT) technology has advanced rapidly since its introduction 20 years ago. Currently, 64‐MSCT and dual‐source computed tomography (DSCT) are considered state‐of‐the‐art for cardiac MSCT imaging with 320‐slice systems also emerging in clinical practice. Initially, the main clinical focus of MSCT in cardiac imaging was coronary artery evaluation. This has expanded to several other areas such as evaluation of coronary stents, bypass grafts, and cardiac evaluation prior to procedures such as transcatheter aortic/mitral valve replacement and pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation ablation.
