title: [Imaging of the coronary arteries with multi-channel CT: a pictorial assay].
abstract: Advances in cardiac imaging with multidetector row CT allow new applications in the diagnosis of cardiac pathology. The purpose of this article is to illustrate the normal anatomy and main anatomical variants of the coronary arteries that can be detected with multi-channel CT. The images presented here were obtained using 4-channel and 16-channel multi-detector row CT units. Post-processing of CT imaging data was performed using: VRT, MPVR, and 2D curved MPR. Because of continuing technical advances, the use of CT imaging in the evaluation of cardiac disorders is likely to increase.
