Abstract

MSCT Coronary Angiography is a fast developing non-invasive diagnostic technique that can detect a coronary stenosis. The detection of a coronary stenosis is hampered by limited image quality and by motion artefacts and extensive calcifications. However, MSCT-coronary angiography is highly reliable to rule out coronary stenosis. The role of MSCT-coronary angiography in the diagnostic work-up of coronary artery disease needs further research.
