title: Volume-rendering and endocardial views of partially unroofed coronary sinus with 64-slice multidetector CT.
abstract: We diagnosed unroofed coronary sinus preoperatively by the 3D volume rendering and endocardial views with 64-slice MDCT, and those clearly showed the defect of the roof of the coronary sinus and the relationship with the surrounding structure. MDCT is a good non-invasive tool for the evaluation of unroofed coronary sinus, and the reconstructed endocardial view is useful for preoperative surgical planning.
