Abstract:
Objective To study the value of measurement of sinus node artery in adults with multi-slice spiral CT(MSCT).Methods 119 cases were examined by MSCT coronary artery angiography.The diameter of the sinus node artery,the distance from the origin of the sinus node artery to the origin of the coronary artery(S-O),to the origin of left circumflex branch(LO-O),and to straightly the aortic wall erectly(S-W) and the angle between the sinus node artery and the proximal segment of the coronary artery(the angle of S-C) were measured on axial and MIP images.Results The origin,morphological characteristics of the sinus node artery were shown clearly on CT coronary artery angiography,and the diameter,length,the distance of S-W,S-O and LO-O and the angle of S-C were measured precisely.Conclusion The parameters of the sinus node artery measured by MSCT are basically corresponded with those on anatomy,MSCT may be used to show the sinus node artery.
