FFR-CT (Fractional Flow Reserve-Computed Tomography)

FFR-CT (Fractional Flow Reserve-Computed Tomography) is a non-invasive imaging technique used to assess how significantly a coronary artery narrowing (stenosis) affects blood flow to the heart. It uses advanced CT scans combined with computer analysis to simulate blood flow and identify areas where blockages may impair oxygen delivery. This helps doctors determine whether a narrowing is likely to cause symptoms or heart problems, guiding treatment decisions without the need for invasive procedures. FFR-CT provides detailed, functional information about the impact of arterial plaques, improving diagnosis accuracy for coronary artery disease.
