Abstract
Today, coronary artery stenting is the predominant method of nonsurgical myocardial revascularization (1). However, the detailed assessment of the stent lumen remains a major limitation of cardiac multislice computed tomography (MSCT) (2). We report on a novel CT technology called ultra–high-resolution mode (UHR), a special acquisition mode providing considerably enhanced spatial resolution in 64SCT, primarily usable for trauma CT and bone imaging of the inner ear. However, this acquisition mode could also be advantageous for the delineation of coronary artery stents, which was tested in an ex vivo setting as described previously (3).
