Everybody's doing a brand new dance now...CT/CTA coronary.
Before you purchase new equipment to perform this service make sure you have all the facts regarding reimbursement for your payor population to ensure correct financial calculations. There is not much argument that CTA of the coronary arteries holds the future and will replace many traditional diagnostic cardiac catheterization procedures. It is important to remember that this is another instance where technology is once again ahead of reimbursement.
