2 Figure 1 Comparative left circumflex coronary artery imaging of a 38-year-old man with recent acute coronary syndrome using CCA (top) and 64-row MDCT reconstruction (bottom) using maximum intensity projection at 0.5 mm thickness. The hypodense area in the midsegment was wrongly reported on MDCTA as significant (false positive). American Heart Journal  , 1323.e e6DOI: ( /j.ahj ) Copyright © 2006 Mosby, Inc.

3 Figure 2 Comparative left anterior descending artery imaging of a 51-year-old man with known CAD and exertional angina using conventional angiography (top) and 64-row MDCT (bottom). Despite a high calcium score, correlation was excellent. American Heart Journal  , 1323.e e6DOI: ( /j.ahj ) Copyright © 2006 Mosby, Inc. Terms and Conditions
