Abstract

Coronary CT angiography extends beyond detecting obstructive coronary artery disease by providing vital anatomical insights into extra-coronary pathologies, including acute aortic syndromes. This non-invasive modality enables early identification of life-threatening conditions and informs multidisciplinary management strategies, underscoring its critical role in comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and patient-centered care.
