1 Diagnostic accuracy of dual-source multislice computed tomographic analysis for the preoperative detection of coronary artery anomalies in 100 patients with tetralogy of Fallot  Carine Vastel-Amzallag, MD, Emmanuel Le Bret, MD, PhD, Jean-François Paul, MD, Virginie Lambert, MD, PhD, Adela Rohnean, MD, Eric El Fassy, MD, Anne Sigal-Cinqualbre, MD  The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  Volume 142, Issue 1, Pages (July 2011) DOI: /j.jtcvs Copyright © 2011 The American Association for Thoracic Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Anomalous coronary artery in patients with tetralogy of Fallot. A 3-dimensional volume-rendering view shows the left anterior descending artery arising from the right coronary artery and anteriorly crossing the right ventricular outflow tract. Right coronary ostium (∗), left anterior descending artery (). PT, Pulmonary trunk.

3 Figure 2 Benefit of 3-dimensional imaging. Three-dimensional volume rendering produces virtual anatomic images that are very helpful for the preoperative assessment of the patient's anatomy. Ao, Aorta; PA, pulmonary artery. ∗Infundibular stenosis.

4 Figure 3 Stair-step artifacts on sequential acquisitions. Three different acquisition sets (∗) are seen with a decrease in contrast over time and slight stair-step artifacts that do not impair image analysis.
