Coronary artery visualization by multi-slice CT and the evaluation of coronary stenosis were examined. Multi-slice CT could not be used for evaluation after the coronary artery stent custody method. We examined various coronary artery stent custody phantoms and stent visualization of clinical examples by using multi-slice CT with a slice thickness of 0.5 mm. ECG-gated scanning was done by inputting ECG using 4DAS (Data Acquisition System) multi-slice CT with a slice thickness of 0.5 mm. We carried out image reconstruction, measured the CT number, and examined the inside stent. The CT number of the inside stent rose in accordance with stent diameter. The inside stent was visualized clearly at 0.5 mm in comparison with 1.0 mm in slice thickness. Visualization of the lumen was influenced in the Stent Custody Phantom by the quality of the stent material, Strut form, and the size of the diameter. The inside stent could be evaluated with the S670 4 mmphi stent. Form evaluation of the inside stent was possible, although the cavity in the stent was influenced by the difference in distance between peaks.
