Figure 1 Examples of Different Multislice Computed Tomography Observations
(A, B, C) Curved multiplanar reconstructions of, respectively, the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), left circumflex coronary artery, and right coronary artery (RCA) of a patient with normal coronary arteries are provided. (D) Curved multiplanar reconstruction of the RCA is provided, showing diffuse coronary artery disease without obstructive lesions. (E) Stenosis of the left main coronary artery as well as proximal LAD can be observed.
