Résumé |
Multislice spiral computed tomography was performed in 16 adolescents and young adults who had Kawasaki's disease to assess coronary artery abnormalities. Adequate images were obtained for 96% of major coronary segments. The sensitivity of multislice spiral computed tomography to detect coronary artery aneurysms was 100%, and that for significant stenoses and occlusions was 87.5%, whereas false-positive results due to severe calcification was present in 5 arteries and those due to cardiac motion artifact were present in 2, resulting in a specificity of 92.5%.
