Abstract

Objective To investigate the role of multislice spiral computed tomography(MSCT) on diagnosis of Kawasaki disease (KD)with coronary artery lesions. Methods Fifteen patients with coronary artery lesions due to KD in the follow- up were selected. MSCT and two dimensional echocardiography(TDE) were performed within several days. The results between them were compared Results MSCT on the diagnosis of coronary artery lesions was more positive and accuracy than TDE(P0. 05). MSCT and TDE had a direct correlation( r = 0.975 P0.01). Conclusions MSCT may provide clear visualization of coronary artery proximal lesions and its distant lesions. It can exactly measure the ectasia degree and the location of coronary calcification. It may prove to be of great value as a follow - up study in KU for children with coronary artery lesions
