[Sectional imaging of coronary atherosclerosis and its clinical application].
Although selective coronary angiography is a golden standard for diagnosing coronary artery diseases, it is expensive and may cause a little danger to the patient. With the advancement of space-resolution, time-resolution and various kinds of scan techniques, the sectional image methods such as electron beam CT, multislice spiral CT and magnetic resonance imaging will be prospective non-invasive techniques to diagnose coronary artery and other heart diseases.
