An application of the multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) for cardiac imaging is the non-invasive CT angiographic assessment of the cardiac morphology and of the major coronary arteries. The most important application is for the non-invasive diagnosis of coronary artery disease and this includes assessment of coronary artery anomaly and stenosis, evaluation of non-calcified atherosclerotic plaque, and follow-up examinations after stent deployment and bypass surgery. We illustrate a variety of diseases of the coronay artery by using MDCT. These will facilitate understanding of MDCT features of coronary artery lesions.
