(1b) A volume-rendering technique of RCA (MDCT) axial slice visualizing high-grade lesion. (1c) MDCT 3-dimensional volume-rendering technique. (1d) MDCT curved multiplanar reconstruction. (2a) Coronary angiography of RCA. (2b) MDCT volume-rendering technique of RCA. Ao = aorta; DB = diagonal branch; LV = left ventricle; PT = pulmonary trunk; VB = ventricular branch.
