Overview

There are no CT scan findings associated with spontaneous coronary artery dissection. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of vascular anomalies associated with SCAD. High resolution computed tomography may be useful in the detection of vascular abnormalities as compared with other noninvasive imaging modalities.
