Abstract
New medical treatment methods and procedures usually cause high additional costs. Medical progress in cardiovascular imaging may fortunately reduce costs considerably. In Innsbruck it is calculated that about 1000 euros may be saved when replacing diagnostic coronary angiography (CAG) by CT coronary angiography (CTA). If in Austria 30% of CAGs are replaced by CTAs with a 64-slice CT system, about 13 million euros may be saved provided that CAG capacities will be reduced to the same extent as CTAs are done.
