Since the introduction of ≥64 detector row coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) as a noninvasive imaging modality, various clinical trials have established its diagnostic performance and prognostic significance when compared to other anatomic and functional tests for coronary artery disease (CAD). CCTA has been increasingly utilized for a wide range of clinical scenarios, driven by both advances in technology as well as data showing improvement in outcomes. Accumulating evidence has continually refined and supported the central role of CCTA within clinical care, and this year has witnessed continued evolution of the application of CCTA within healthcare and translational research. The purpose of the present review is to summarize the year of the Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (JCCT), highlighting the evidence base supporting the appropriate application of cardiac computed tomography across numerous clinical domains.
自从 ≥64 排冠状动脉计算机断层扫描血管造影（CCTA）作为一种非侵入性成像方式引入以来，与其他用于诊断冠状动脉疾病（CAD）的解剖学和功能学检查相比，多项临床试验已经确立了其诊断性能和预后意义。随着技术的进步以及显示出改善结果的数据的推动，CCTA 在越来越多的临床情况下得到了广泛应用。不断积累的证据不断完善和支持 CCTA 在临床护理中的核心作用，今年见证了 CCTA 在医疗保健和转化研究中的应用不断发展。本综述的目的是总结《心血管计算机断层摄影杂志》（JCCT）的一年，重点介绍支持在众多临床领域中适当应用心脏计算机断层摄影的证据基础。
