Multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) is a new non-invasive imaging technique for detecting coronary artery disease. It allows direct visualization of not only the lumen of the coronary arteries, but also plaque within the artery. Identification of soft plaques is of the utmost importance in the therapeutic decision making for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), including acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina pectoris. MSCT detected coronary artery soft plaques in 2 cases of ACS. (Circ J 2004; 68: 263 - 266)
