摘要：

I report a new, extremely rapid, noninvasive technique for the diagnosis of coronary artery occlusion. An ultrafast x-ray cine-computed tomographic scanner (cine-CT) allows visualization of the coronary arteries without injection of contrast material. The arteries can be seen because of the CT contrast between blood in the arteries and the pericardial fat. This theory is supported by a study of 200 patients followed up for 5 years. This examination is extremely short and noninvasive, so it is a potentially efficient method of mass screening for coronary arteriosclerosis.
