摘要
A 55-year-old man was brought to the emergency room complaining of left-sided chest pain. His electrocardiogram was indeterminate, and a multidetector computed tomogram (MDCT) was performed to exclude aortic dissection. The patient's aorta was normal, but an area of hypoperfusion was evident in the lateral ventricular myocardial wall. The ability to diagnose myocardial ischemia and infarcts on nongated MDCT is of particular clinical interest. As more imaging technology is devoted to imaging the heart, the greater expectations of radiologists' ability to diagnose cardiac disease in the emergency room will become. © ASER 2004.
