Abstract 

In this paper, we describe two cases of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery and two cases of aneurysm on the left coronary artery. Detailed three-dimensional images were acquired by the multislice computed tomography (MSCT) SOMATOM Sensation Cardiac 64 during clinical studies of cardiac diseases.
