title: Multislice computed tomography in the diagnosis of coronary anomalies with superimposed coronary artery disease.
abstract: Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) is widely used to complement conventional angiography in the diagnosis and characterisation of coronary artery anomalies. MSCT adds relevant 3-dimensional information that relates the course of anomalous vessels to specific anatomical structures of the heart. The utility of MSCT in patients with coronary anomalies is exemplified in a patient with superimposed coronary artery disease.
