Coronary CT Angiography

Caption

Coronary CT angiography for the suspected progression of known coronary artery disease in a 56-year-old female patient. Curved multiplanar reconstructions with 0.6-mm (yellow outline), 0.4-mm (blue outline), and 0.2-mm (green outline) section thickness show the respective calcified plaque (arrowheads) and coronary stenosis (inset images). The reduced section thickness leads to less calcium blooming and therefore a less severe assessment of percentage of coronary stenosis in this patient.
