Electron beam tomography (EBT) is currently the fastest high resolution imaging procedure available. A modern non-invasive method, it provides an accurate spatial representation of the heart including the coronary arteries. Enabling the quantitative detection of microcalcifications in the coronary arteries--a reliable parameter of early-stage CAD-EBT now makes it possible to screen large population strata. In addition, the direct, non-invasive representation of coronary arteries and coronary arterial stenoses has now become possible. Although at present, EBT will probably not completely replace invasive coronary angiography, in specific areas such as evaluating the long-term results of coronary angioplasty (PTCA) or coronary bypass, the method could make invasive diagnostic procedures superfluous.
