title: [Computed tomography of coronary arteries].
abstract: The review covers possibilities of modern techniques of computer tomography (CT) of coronary arteries: electron beam tomography and 4-, 16-, 64-slice multi-spiral CT. Main studies conducted in this area are analyzed. Results of these studies (values of sensitivity and specificity, numbers of included patients, numbers of segments of coronary arteries which were excluded from analysis because of poor quality of images) are presented and compared. Problems of further development of CT of coronary arteries are also considered.
