title: [Clinical development of cardiac CT diagnostics: clinical and scientific applications from the cardiologist's point of view].
abstract: The development of cardiac CT imaging has been extraordinary in the last few years. Due to excellent cooperation with our radiology departments we have been able to gain a very close insight into the newest clinical and technical improvements made in this field. The following article aims to highlight the relevant, practically orientated indications and applications of cardiac CT. Furthermore you will find a summary of clinically driven multicenter and interdisciplinary scientific work using this fascinating imaging modality.
