Virtual Coronary Angioscopy - EBCT vs MDCT

摘要

of new acquisition techniques like Electron Beam Computed Tomography (EBCT) and Multi Detector Computed Tomography (MDCT) have enabled the visualization of the coronary artery tree using non-invasive methods. Because of the use of these new techniques, new possibilities have emerged in the visualization of the coronary artery- tree. Three-dimensional visualization techniques used to visualize the three-dimensional data space acquired cannot only be used to display the heart and coronary arteries from the outside, but also from the inside. In this article we demonstrate the feasibility of this inter-arterial visualization, also known as Virtual Coronary Angioscopy (VCA).
