Abstract
OBJECTIVE: In this part one of a two-part article, we aim to illustrate our understanding of and approach to comprehensive cardiac CT reporting, cardiac CT technique, and coronary calcium scoring CT, as well as normal and anomalous coronary artery anatomy. CONCLUSION: Structured cardiac CT reporting is important to effectively communicate with referring clinicians. Knowledge of cardiac CT technique, cardiac anatomy, and standard anatomic and physiologic terminology can assist the reader in creating a consistent and comprehensive cardiac CT report.
