2 Figure 1 Example of a patient with significant coronary artery disease. (A) Three-dimensional volume-rendered reconstruction providing an overview of the left anterior descending (LAD) and left circumflex (LCx) coronary arteries. An enlargement of the section indicated by the black arrowhead (B) demonstrates a significant narrowing in the LAD coronary artery (black arrowhead) and, more distally, a small coronary calcification (white arrowhead) that can also be observed on the curved multiplanar reconstruction (D). Cross-sectional images (E) confirm the presence of a significant noncalcified lesion. (F) Curved multiplanar reconstruction of the LCx coronary artery without significant lesions. In the right coronary artery (G, 3-dimensional volume-rendered reconstruction; H, curved multiplanar reconstruction), no significant narrowing was observed as well. The findings were confirmed by conventional coronary angiography (C, I). American Journal of Cardiology  , DOI: ( /j.amjcard ) Copyright © 2006 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions
