RESUMO
Objective To study the diagnostic value of coronary disease with 16-slice spiral CT.Methods 35 patients with coronary heart disease(CHD) were divided into two groups according to the risk rate of CHD:group 1 with acute coronary artery syndrome(ACS)(including acute myocardial infarction,AMI;unstable angina,UA);group 2 with stable angina(SA).They were studied by 16-slice spiral CT(retrospectively ECG-gating,0.5 s ratation),the images were reconstructed by survey methods to display the coronary artery atherosclerosis plaques,then to evaluate the nature of plaques by detecting CT value of plaque(using the standard of the CT value of the coronary artery atherosclerosis plaque of Schroeder)and to analyze the degree of the stenosis of coronary artery caused by the different type of plaque.Results There were 19 soft plaqes,11 middle plaques and 7 calcification plaques in ACS group;3 soft plaqes,3 middle plaques and 11 calcification plaques in SA group.There was a positive relation between soft plaqes and middle plaques with the risk rate of CHD,especially soft plaque(P
