New MSCT machines produce a volume data set with the highest isotropic spatial resolution ever seen, offering superb 3D images of the entire heart and vessels. The texts currently available on cardiac CT imaging mainly focus on visualizing pathological aspects of coronary arteries. Anatomy of the ...
Surface anatomy of the heartExplore study unit Coronary arteries The coronary arteries arise from the root of theascending aorta. Recall that theaortic valvehas three semilunar cusps, also known as the sinuses of Valsalva. Theleftandrightsemilunarcuspsgive rise to the corresponding left andright coro...
CMR is also capable of providing images of the coronary arteries with the aid of respiratory navigator sequences.20This has the advantage of not using ionising radiation but the spatial resolution (0.7–0.8mm in-plane resolution and 1–3mm through-plane resolution)21is reduced compared with CT ...

Farhood Saremi 18 Coronary Arteries and Myocardial Perfusion Introduction Knowledge of gross anatomy and microcirculation of the coronary arterial system is important not only to address the spatial location of a lesion but also to understand the mechani
(MBF) distributions11,12. Imaging the coronary anatomy and MBF can be performed using a single CT imaging modality, and this has been used to diagnose CAD16,17,18,45. Since the myocardium is perfused by upstream coronary arteries, the myocardial flow distribution can be used to infer ...
The anatomy of the coronary arteries [1–16] has been widely studied [17–20] due to their clinical relevance. The use of three-dimensional views of specific cases, as well as the 3D modelling are useful to understand the normal anatomy and its variations. Presented at the 3rd World ...
