Sažetak
Coronary artery disease remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial for selecting optimal therapeutic interventions and improving patient outcomes. Various imaging modalities are employed for this purpose, while hybrid imaging techniques combine the advantages of individual modalities, providing a more detailed assessment of the myocardium’s morphological and functional characteristics. This paper provides an overview of the available imaging methods for diagnosing coronary artery disease, with a particular emphasis on the role and application of hybrid techniques as a modern approach that contributes to more effective therapy planning and reduces the need for multiple diagnostic procedures. Special attention is given to the role of radiologic technologists in the entire diagnostic process, their daily professional responsibilities, and the importance of continuous professional development in the use of hybrid systems.
