Radiological anatomy of the coronary arteries after cardiac catheterisation
Radiological anatomy of the coronary arteries after cardiac catheterisation
This e-Anatomy module is about the radiological anatomy of the coronary arteries in coronary angiography.
It allows you to view a catheterisation of the left and right coronary arteries as well as a ventriculography, using radiological impacts used in current practice in the coronary angiography room.
This module is intended for students of medicine and paramedical studies to understand the impacts on coronary angiography and to recognise the different coronary arteries and their collaterals.
Coronary-angiographic images:
Over 500 dynamic images of an angiogram of the coronary arteries are presented here, with the incidences used in clinical practice. Small pictures at the bottom of the module serve as benchmarks for understanding the position and angle of the arch (3D images of the patient and coronary arteries):
| Left coronary artery |
| RAO: 20° - CAU: 20° |
| RAO: 30° - CRA: 30° |
| LAO: 0° - CRA: 30° |
| LAO: 45° - CRA: 20° |
| LAO: 30° - CAU: 30° |
| RAO: 0° - CAU: 30° |
| Right coronary artery |
| LAO: 45° - CAU: 15° |
| LAO: 45° - CRA: 20° |
| RAO: 30° - CAU: 0° |
| Ventriculography |
| RAO: 30° - CAU: 0° |
Anatomical structures of the heart labeled in a coronary angiography and ventriculography
Over 100 anatomical structures were labeled in this normal coronary angiogram:
- Coronary arteries: the international nomenclature (Terminologia Anatomica) of right and left coronary arteries coupled with the nomenclature used in radiological practice (Cx, IVA, CT...).
- Branches of the coronary arteries: includes the anatomical names of small branches of coronary arteries, less visible on a coronary angiography.
- Digital nomenclature: shows the anatomy of the coronary arteries represented by numbers (followed by their angiographic name). This nomenclature is less commonly used, but is useful for some protocols in cardiological research.
- Heart: shows the main radiological anatomical reference points of the heart in interventional radiology (apex, base of the heart, pulmonary face...).
- Other structures: details of the extracardiac structures visible in this coronary angiography (lungs, diaphragm, spine, aorta).
Anatomical parts
The user can hide or show all the anatomical labels on this coronary angiography or to display only the most important anatomical structures avoiding the overloading of the images.
Series
The user can browse between the different radiological impacts in coronary angiography.
Language and anatomical terminology
We used the Terminologia Anatomica to label all the anatomical structures. Translations available in English, French, Japanese, German, Chinese, Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Korean, Italian and Spanish.
