Morphological and physiological assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD) is necessary for proper stratification of CAD risk. The objective was to evaluate a low-dose cardiac CT technique that combines morphological and physiological assessment of CAD. The low-dose technique was evaluated in twelve swine, where three of the twelve had coronary balloon stenosis. The technique consisted of rest perfusion measurement combined with angiography followed by stress perfusion measurement, where the ratio of stress to rest was used to derive coronary flow reserve (CFR). The technique only required two volume scans for perfusion measurement in mL/min/g; hence, four volume scans were acquired in total; two for rest with angiography and two for stress. All rest, stress, and CFR measurements were compared to a previously validated reference technique that employed 20 consecutive volume scans for rest perfusion measurement combined with angiography, and stress perfusion measurement, respectively. The 32 cm diameter volumetric CT dose index (   \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} 				\usepackage{amsmath} 				\usepackage{wasysym}  				\usepackage{amsfonts}  				\usepackage{amssymb}  				\usepackage{amsbsy} 				\usepackage{mathrsfs} 				\usepackage{upgreek} 				\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} 				\begin{document}$${\text{CTDI}}_{\text{vol}}^{32}$$\end{document}    CTDI   vol   32) and size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) of the low-dose technique were also recorded. All low-dose perfusion measurements (P LOW ) in mL/min/g were related to reference perfusion measurements (P REF ) through regression by P LOW  = 1.04 P REF  − 0.08 (r = 0.94, RMSE = 0.32 mL/min/g).

Combined morphological and physiological assessment of coronary artery disease is feasible using a low-dose cardiac CT technique.
