Patient preparation is the key to success in cardiac CT, and the relevant aspects of this step are discussed in detail in this chapter. Standardized information sheets should be used to make every patient understand the nature of the procedure. Informed consent is pivotal to ensure that patients avoid movements that can cause artifacts and that no patients with contraindications undergo cardiac CT.
