Courtesy of Dr Michelle Williams and Prof David Newby, this image shows a three dimensional reconstruction of a computed tomography (CT) coronary angiogram performed as part of the SCOT-HEART trial. This CT identified severe coronary artery disease in the right coronary artery and enabled appropriate treatment to be organised for the patient.

Findings from the SCOT-HEART trial were recently published in The Lancet:
