Estudio de las arterias coronarias mediante tomografía computarizada multidetector

Radiological study of coronary arteries has undergone major advances, especially with the incorporation of new CT multidetectors which afford temporary spatial resolution sufficient for the acquisition of high-quality images and diagnoses concerning various coronary artery abnormalities. The technique is described in terms of both facilitating data within a procedure making use of beta-blockers to slow heart rate and postprocess image reconstruction. Accordingly, our experience with a 16-detector CT and its clinical applications are illustrated.
