Figure 2 Sixty-four-slice computed tomography in a 68-year-old man admitted for suspected coronary artery disease (A). Curved multiplanar reconstruction image of right coronary artery demonstrates significant stenosis on the proximal and distal portion (thick arrows) correctly assessed by coronary angiography (B). Note that 3 lesions were missed on side branches (thin arrows) (B). Ao = aorta; PLA = posterolateral artery; RPDA = right posterior descending artery.
