Abstract

Purpose: To describe the variants and the anormalies of coronary artery on 128-row computed tomography (CT).
Material and method: 90 patients were treated at 103 hospital from Oct. 2020 to Jul. 2021. The characteristic figures of coronary artery assessed on 128-row CT included: the site of ostium, course, abnormal enlargement of the branch…
Results: 84.4% of the patients had a right dominant system and Ramus intermedius branch was seen in 57.8%. The anomalous origins of LM and RCA were found in 3.3% for each branch. The atrophies of LCx and RCA were 7.8% and 2.2%, respectively.
Conclusion: 128-row detector CT images is helpful for detecting the variants and the anormalies of coronary artery
