Until now conventional angiography has represented the only technique for assessing the coronary arteries. During the last decade, attempts have been made to validate a non-invasive technique for the study of coronary arteries. In particular, Electron-beam Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging have been used for this purpose, even though they have not become clinical tools. More recently, spiral computed tomography (CT) technology, improved by the use of multiple slices and 500ms gantry rotation times, has shown a good potential without entering routine clinical practice. The introduction of multislice technology with 16 rows and rotation times below 500ms has yielded such good results in detecting significant (>50%) coronary artery stenosis that it has been proposed as a clinical tool. This paper describes the examination technique and the results achieved in CT angiography of the coronary arteries.
