Abstract
<b>OBJECTIVE.</b> Fractional flow reserve derived from coronary CT angiography (FFR<sub>CT</sub>) is an emerging tool for noninvasive evaluation of coronary artery disease that provides a combined anatomic and physiologic evaluation. The goal of this article is to serve as a review of the current status of FFR<sub>CT</sub> through discussion of existing trials on the modality and to introduce readers to examples of its utility and potential pitfalls. <b>CONCLUSION.</b> This article reviews the current body of evidence on FFR<sub>CT</sub> and provides case examples illustrating its current uses, limitations, and potential future applications.
