New generation cardiac CT scanners (Aquilion ONE, Brilliance iCT, Discovery CT750 HD and Somatom Definition Flash) for cardiac imaging in people with suspected or known coronary artery disease in whom imaging is difficult with earlier generation CT scanners

Evidence-based recommendations on new generation cardiac CT scanners (Aquilion ONE, Brilliance iCT, Discovery CT750 HD and Somatom Definition Flash) for cardiac imaging in people with suspected or known coronary artery disease in whom imaging is difficult with earlier generation CT scanners.

Last reviewed: 6 July 2017

We updated this guidance following changes to the NICE guideline on recent-onset chest pain of suspected cardiac origin: assessment and diagnosis.

Diagnostics guidance 3 has been migrated to HealthTech guidance 281. The recommendations and accompanying content remain unchanged.

Next review: This guidance will be reviewed if there is new evidence that is likely to change the recommendations.
