MDCT (Multidetector CT)
Coronary artery blockage now can be diagnosed by non invasive method without doing coronary angiogram by using Multidetector CT scan. Recent Developments in computed tomography enable for the first time to perform dedicated examinations of the heart using helical CT. The applications of MDCT in cardiology are multiple: assessment of coronary calcification, assessment of the coronary arteries and arteriosclerotic changes, direct visualization of intracardiac thrombi and pericardial effusion.
