Since the emergence of cardiac computed tomography (CT) at the turn of the 21st century, there has been an exponential growth in research and clinical development of the technique, with contributions from investigators and clinicians from varied backgrounds: physics and engineering, informatics, cardiology, and radiology. However, terminology for the field is not unified. As a consequence, there are multiple abbreviations for some terms, multiple terms for some concepts, and some concepts that lack clear definitions and/or usage. In an effort to aid the work of all those who seek to contribute to the literature, clinical practice, and investigation of the field, the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography sets forth a standard set of medical terms commonly used in clinical and investigative practice of cardiac CT.
自 21 世纪之交心脏计算机断层扫描（CT）出现以来，该技术的研究和临床发展呈指数级增长，来自不同背景的物理学家和工程师、信息学专家、心脏病学家和放射科医生都对其做出了贡献。然而，该领域的术语并不统一。因此，一些术语有多个缩写，一些概念有多个术语，而有些概念则缺乏明确的定义和/或用法。为了帮助所有希望为该领域的文献、临床实践和研究做出贡献的人，心血管计算机断层摄影学会制定了一套标准的医学术语，这些术语在心脏 CT 的临床和研究实践中经常使用。
