Abstract :
Objective: The aim of the study, was to evaluate to potential clinical value of a new generation 128 multislice computed tomography (MSCT) system in the coronary artery disease (CAD) and anomalies. Method: Between June 2009 and April 2010, fourty consecutive patients with suspected CAD underwent coronary CTA by 128-MSCT. Technical parameters of coronary CTA were noted. Coronary artery stenosis and coronary artery anomalies were evaluated on both a per patient and a per segment basis. Results: Coronary CTA by 128-MSCT were performed with average 64±2.1 mL contrast media volume and 68 ± 11 beats per minutes heart rate. Coronary CTA showed stenosis in 47 segments of 22/40 patients. Coronary anomalies in 24/40 patients were detected. Conclusion: In clinical routine, coronary CTA with 128-MSCT is useful tool for evaluation of CAD and coronary artery anomalies.
