Ability for Visualization, Reasons for Nonassessable Image, and Diagnostic Accuracy of 16-Slice Multidetector Row Helical Computed Tomography for the Assessment of the Entire Coronary Arteries

It was demonstrated that 16-slice multidetector row helical computed tomography may permit more accurate assessment of entire coronary arteries, with a low rate of arteries unable to be evaluated. The detection of coronary artery stenoses with this modality was applicable to assessable segments.
