Congenital coronary artery anomaly demonstrated by three dimensional 16 slice spiral CT angiography

Huge Coronary artery aneurysm Demonstrated by 64-slice MDCT Coronary angiography: a case report

Coronary artery aneurysm is an uncommon disease. We present a case of an unusual huge saccular coronary aneurysm of the left anterior descending coronary artery detected by 64-slice multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) coronary angiography, which initially presented as a mediastinal mass on chest X-ray. The true size of the aneurysm would have been underestimated by coronary angiography be...

Electron Beam CT versus 16-slice Spiral CT: How Accurately Can We Measure Coronary Artery Calcium Volume?

Noninvasive coronary angiography by retrospectively ECG-gated multislice spiral CT.

BACKGROUND We investigated the applicability and image quality of contrast-enhanced coronary artery visualization by multislice spiral CT using retrospective ECG gating. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-five patients in sinus rhythm (significant coronary artery stenoses ruled out by invasive angiography) were studied with a multislice spiral CT (Siemens SOMATOM Volume Zoom). In inspiration (mean br...

Assessment of coronary artery stents by 16 slice computed tomography.

OBJECTIVE To analyse coronary stents with multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) in comparison with coronary angiography. PATIENTS AND METHODS 310 patients referred for conventional coronary angiography underwent MSCT on the next day (16 x 0.75 mm cross section, 420 ms rotation, 110 ml contrast agent intravenously at 4 ml/s). Two independent blinded reviewers analysed the MSCT. RESULT...

conus artery in coronary ct angiography

conclusions in most cases, the conus artery can be visualized in cardiac ct. a description of the conus artery should be a part of the standard clinical coronary ct angiography description. objectives to examine whether it is possible to visualize the conus artery in multi-slice computed tomography (ct). patients and methods in 79 consecutive patients (aged 56 ± 12.9 years; 13 women), 64-slice ...
