Coronary computed tomography angiography is a non-invasive diagnostic method for the assessment of coronary artery disease. Despite its high sensitivity and negative predictive value, its specificity is low, especially to determine the functional significance of obstructive lesions. The calculation of fractional flow reserve using computed tomography angiography (FFR-CT) is an innovative method that allows, in the same study, the combination of anatomic and hemodynamic characteristics. Its use in routine clinical practice can be decisive in guiding therapeutic management, reducing unnecessary invasive tests and health costs.
