Abstract
Multislice computed tomography coronary angiography (MSCT‐CA) has emerged as a powerful noninvasive diagnostic modality to visualize the coronary arteries and to detect significant coronary stenoses. The latest generation 64‐slice computed tomography (CT) scanners is a robust technique which allows high‐resolution, isotropic, nearly motion‐free coronary imaging. Coronary stenoses are detected with high sensitivity and a normal scan accurately rules out the presence of a coronary stenosis. With the introduction of further novel concepts in CT‐technology one may expect that MSCT‐CA will become a clinically used diagnostic tool. CopyrightKeywords
