64-slice CT scan is a versatile newly introduced imaging technology, which is capable of diagnosing various diseases from head to toe. The 64-slice CT coronary angiography has a negative predictive value of 100%. Virtual images of bronchi, stomach and colon can provide definite diagnosis. Coronary artery calcification score which predicts coronary artery disease can be calculated by 64-slice CT...
