Figure 3 (a) A 57-year-old male patient with known two-vessel disease and prior multiple right circumflex and left anterior descending-percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasties. With a favorable Agatston Score Equivalent (39) and a heart rate below 65, an excellent image quality was obtained, which is displayed in the 3D volume-rendering image. (b) Severe left anterior descending lesion and the absence of restenosis in the left circumflex are visualized. The enlarged images in (c) and (d) depict the corresponding segment as assessed by multidetector computed tomography. The small insets show the corresponding maximum intensity projections used for diagnosis.
