The dose-length product was 62 mGy · cm (estimated effective dose, 0.87 mSv): no coronary artery stenoses are present. (A to C) Curved multiplanar reconstructions of the left main and left anterior descending coronary arteries, left circumflex coronary artery, and right coronary artery (arrows). (D) Three-dimensional surface-weighted reconstruction of the heart and coronary arteries. (E and F) Invasive coronary angiography. CTA = computed tomography angiography. Figure Legend:

The dose-length product was 58 mGy · cm (estimated effective dose, 0.81 mSv). A high-grade stenosis was found in the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery and confirmed by invasive coronary angiography. (A to C) Curved multiplanar reconstruction of the coronary arteries (large arrows = stenosis). (D) 3-dimensional reconstruction of the heart and coronary arteries (arrow = stenosis). (E to G) Invasive coronary angiography (large arrow = stenosis). Abbreviation as in Figure 1. Figure Legend:

A 63-year-old male patient (172 cm, 81 kg, heart rate 57 beats/min). The dose-length product (DLP) was 60 mGy · cm (estimated effective dose, 0.84 mSv). (C and D) Occlusion of the right coronary artery in CTA (C) and invasive coronary angiography (D). A 50-year-old male patient (176 cm, 80 kg, heart rate 60 beats/min). The DLP was 47 mGy · cm (estimated effective dose, 0.66 mSv). Abbreviation as in Figure 1. Figure Legend:

Hence, imaging was performed earlier than planned in the cardiac cycle, and motion artifact is present in the proximal segments of the right coronary artery. (A) Transaxial image at the level of the proximal right coronary artery showing motion blurring (arrow). (B) Transaxial image at the level of the mid right coronary artery; no motion artifact is present (arrow). (C) Curved multiplanar reconstruction of the right coronary artery; motion artifacts are present in the proximal part and mimic the presence of noncalcified atherosclerotic plaque (arrows). (D) Invasive coronary angiography demonstrates a normal right coronary artery. Abbreviation as in Figure 1. Figure Legend:
