摘要: After childhood Kawasaki syndrome (KS) the coronary arteries undergo a lifelong dynamic pathological change, and follow-up artery imaging is essential. At present, conventional catheterization (CCC) angiography still regarded as gold standard. Less-invasive methods such multidetector CT (MDCT-A) MRI have been used sporadically. To compare diagnostic quality of MDCT-A with that CCC for in group patients pathology after KS. A total 16 (aged 5–27 years) underwent 16-row 14 (1.5 T). There was 100% agreement between detection aneurysms stenoses. superior visualization calcified lesions. showed 93% aneurysms. Visualization stenoses difficult using MRI—one stenosis missed. has excellent correlation regarding all changes affecting In comparison to CCC, less precise stenotic Due its high image ease performance should be primary modality following
