Evaluation of the Myocardial Blood Supply: Ultra-Low Radiation Dose CT Techniques



Fig. 1
Seventy-three-year-old female patient with coronary artery disease treated with several bypass grafts. CT scan revealed an occluded graft to the right coronary artery (arrowhead), a patent graft to the left anterior descending coronary artery (arrow) but an inconsistent course of the peripheral original vessel (star)
