AG images: A 65-year-old male patient (BMI = 33.6), dyslipidemic, non-hypertensive and non-diabetic, complaining of chest pain. Echocardiography revealed good systolic function (EF = 60%) and no regional wall motion abnormalities. A Two different views of 3D volume rendered images showing normal origin of coronary arteries with right dominant circulation, and mild ectasia at LAD proximal LAD segment. B Axial noncontrast curved planar reformatted image showing calcium score (17) at LAD and D1. C Axial curved planar reformatted image and D Two sagittal curved planar reformatted images showing atherosclerotic showing LAD, with mild proximal LAD ectasia (5.3 mm), a soft eccentric plaque is seen at proximal to mid-LAD segments exerting moderate stenosis (50%, length = 11 mm), with another small calcified plaque with positive remolding is seen at mid-LAD segment without significant stenosis, and a mixed eccentric plaque is seen at D1 ostium exerting severe stenosis (70%, length = 4.5 mm). E Two coronal curved planar reformatted image showing atherosclerotic LM, LCx, OM3, RCA, PDA and PLB without significant disease. F 3D volume rendered image and G 2D axial multiplanar reformatted image showing epicardial fat volume (223 cm3)
