The recent introduction of Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) represents a milestone in the evolution of Computed Tomography, that started in the decade of 1970. Faster velocities of acquisition, higher spatial and temporal resolution, and better image quality are advantages of MDCT over the former singleslice systems that allow the development of cardiac applications on a realistic basis. MDCT also implies a different way of analysis of the information by the radiologist; the availability of a true anatomical volume through which the operator may navigate and easily reconstruct planar images has been made possible by the technological advance of computer.
