In this study, we applied the three dimensional (3D) reconstructed images of helical scanning computed tomography (CT) for patency evaluation of aortocor-onary bypass grafts. From the experiments using a phantom model representing a vessel with a 2 mm inner diameter, an optimal scanning condition was established to reconstruct images with acceptable accuracy: X-ray beam width, 2 mm; velocity of patient's table move-ment 3 mm/sec: thickness of reconstructed two-dimen-sional (2 D) image, 1 mm; lower cut-off CT number, 50-100 HU. A phantom model with pendulum movement was prepared to evaluate the effect of cardiac move-ment on the quality of reconstructed images. This model revealed that 3 D reconstruction and image analy-sis were possible, although continuity of images was disrupted to some extent. Using the scanning condition determined from these phantom experiments, 3 D images were prepared in 23 patients with aortocoronary grafts and compared with the findings of coronary angiography. Patency of bypass grafts was identified in 25 out of 27 saphenous vein grafts (SVG) and in 15 out of 19 internal mammary artery grafts (ITAG) (sensitivity in SVG and ITAG was 92.6% and 78.9%, respectively). Image reconstruction failed in all occluded arteries (specificity was 100%in both SVG and ITAG). These results clearly suggest that 3 D-reconstructed images of helical CT is a useful method to evaluate the patency of aortocoronary bypass grafts non-invasively and accu-rately.
