Purpose: To investigate the potential of a new detection tool for multislice CT (MSCT) coronary angiography with automatic display of curved multiplanar reformations and orthogonal cross-sections. Materials and Methods: Thirty-five patients were consecutively enrolled in a prospective intention-to-diagnose study and examined using a MSCT scanner with 16 x 0.5 mm detector collimation and 400 ms gantry rotation time (Aquilion, Toshiba). A multisegment algorithm using up to four segments was applied for ECG-gated reconstruction. Automatic and manual detection of coronary arteries was conducted using the coronary artery CT protocol of a workstation (Vitrea 2, Version 3.3, Vital Images) to detect significant stenoses (greater than or equal to 50 %) in all segments of greater than or equal to 1.5 mm in diameter. Each detection tool was used by one reader who was blinded to the results of the other detection method and the results of conventional coronary angiography. Results: The overall sensitivity, specificity, nondiagnostic rate, and accuracy of the automatic and manual approach were 90 vs. 94%, 89 vs. 84%, 6 vs. 6%, and 89 vs. 88 %, respectively (p = n. s.). The vessel length detected with the automatic and manual approach were highly correlated for the left main/left anterior descending (143 +/- 30 vs. 146 +/- 24mm, r=0.923, p
