Clinical Anatomy of the Coronary Circulation,coronary anatomy with multi-slice computed tomography (.) [.–.]. In this chapter, a more complex classification is used, as it provides a more detailed anatomic picture. We begin with a brief review of the coronary anatomy.

Image Reconstruction,nt to the radiologist, as the huge amount of digital information acquired is used to reconstruct three-dimensional images of the coronary arteries, according to dedicated and complex software and protocols. The coronary arteries are tortuous, moving objects and are thus often not easily visualized.

To acquire this enormous amount of energy, the heart converts chemical energy stored in fatty acids and glucose into mechanical energy, in the form of actinomyosin myofibrillar interactions. Fatty acids, t
