AI Article Synopsis
- Researchers diagnosed an unroofed coronary sinus before surgery using 3D volume rendering and endocardial views from 64-slice MDCT imaging.
- The imaging clearly highlighted the defect in the coronary sinus roof and its relation to nearby structures.
- MDCT is an effective non-invasive method for assessing unroofed coronary sinus, making it valuable for planning surgeries.
Article Abstract
We diagnosed unroofed coronary sinus preoperatively by the 3D volume rendering and endocardial views with 64-slice MDCT, and those clearly showed the defect of the roof of the coronary sinus and the relationship with the surrounding structure. MDCT is a good non-invasive tool for the evaluation of unroofed coronary sinus, and the reconstructed endocardial view is useful for preoperative surgical planning.
