Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography guidelines

The Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) guidelines provide best practices for using heart CT scans, a detailed imaging technology that helps assess coronary arteries and heart health. These guidelines ensure scans are performed safely and accurately, helping doctors diagnose conditions like blockages or heart disease. They cover patient selection, preparation, imaging protocols, and interpretation standards. Overall, the guidelines aim to improve patient outcomes by promoting high-quality, standardized use of CT imaging in cardiovascular care.
