Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the influencing factors on image quality and the value of clinical application of coronary artery angiography with 16-slice spiral CT.Methods 16-slice spiral CT angiography was performed in 31 suspected coronary heart disease(CHD).All patients were examined in ordinary scanning (slice 3 mm) and coronary artery scanning (slice 1 mm)with the technique of retrospective electrocardiography gating,and multiplanar reconstruction(MPR),maximum intensity projection(MIP) and volume reconstruction technology(VRT) were done.The showing rate of coronary arteriae,the detecting rate of CHD and the influencing factors on image quality were evaluated by CT.Results 16-slice spiral CT could clearly show RCA1,RCA2,LAD1,LAD2,,LCX1.The image quality was affected by heart rate,breath movement and much calcification in artery,etc.Conclusion 16-slice spiral CT is of significant value in screening and diagnosing coronary artery disease.
