Abstract
Coronary multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT) has rapidly progressed since 64-slice MDCT significantly improved the temporal and spatial resolution of coronary anatomy. Coronary CT has recently become a standard clinical tool that can rule out coronary artery disease (CAD) and detect coronary lesions. Many reports have described the excellent accuracy of 64-slice MDCT in detecting significant stenosis. Coronary atherosclerotic plaque can also be visualized using MDCT and the most recent types of MDCT such as 320-slice and dual-source CT have rapidly spread. Thus, coronary MDCT technology is still under development.
