Nonatherosclerotic Cardiovascular Findings on MDCT Coronary Angiography: A Selection of Abnormalities

¹ All authors: Department of Radiology, Body Imaging Section, University of Washington Medical Center, 325 Ninth Ave., Box 359728, Seattle, WA 98104.

OBJECTIVE. Improvements in MDCT coronary angiography allow imaging of the coronary arteries that rivals invasive coronary angiography. Recent studies have shown high sensitivity and specificity in detecting coronary artery disease. But in the course of interpretation, other significant abnormalities may be encountered in addition to atherosclerotic plaques.

CONCLUSION. We present a selection of nonatherosclerotic cardiovascular findings that were detected with coronary CT angiography performed on a 64-MDCT scanner.

Keywords: cardiac imaging • coronary arteries • CT angiography • MDCT • nonatherosclerotic disease
