CT angiography allows assessment of plaque of the coronary artery wall before luminal narrowing develops. In symptomatic patients with suspected luminal stenosis, identification and characterization of nonobstructive plaque provides prognostic data incremental to the evaluation of luminal stenosis alone. This chapter describes the rationale and clinical approach to plaque imaging and evaluation.
