-
Calcifications detected in 18/23 cases on both PMCT and PMCTA, 12 of which correspond to thrombosis at autopsy;
-
-
In total, 50–75% stenosis detected in 1/23 case on PMCTA, corresponding to an eroded plaque-related thrombosis at histology;
-
-
In total, 75% stenosis of the LAD detected in 1/23 case on both PMCT and PMCTA, confirmed at both autopsy and histology;
-
-
Thrombosis detected in 14/23 cases at autopsy, corresponding—on PMCTA—to 11 non-perfused segments and 2 partial occlusions in non-calcified coronary arteries.

Case 1:
-
-
LCx calcification detected on MPMCT;
-
-
LCX thrombosis and advanced atherosclerotic plaque detected at histology but not on MPMCTA;
-
-
Myocardial infarction detected at histology but not on PMCTA.
Case 2:

LAD calcification detected on MPMCT, corresponding to wall thickening on MPMCTA and atherosclerotic plaque at histology;
-
-
RCA diffuse narrowing detected on MPMCTA;
-
-
Myocardial infarction detected at histology but not on PMCTA.

-
-
Contrast media extravasation in the wall of the left ventricular myocardium detected on PMCTA in 7/11 cases, 6 of which correspond to the distribution area of an affected (stenotic or abnormal) coronary artery; 1/7 case, false positive;
-
-
Infarcted area detected in 1/11 case at both autopsy and histology but not on PMCTA (false negative).

-
Severe calcification of the LAD on PMCT, corresponding to a 50–75% stenosis on PMCTA and to coronary atherosclerosis at histology;
-
-
Diffuse calcification of LCx and RCA on PMCT, corresponding to a 50% stenosis on PMCTA and to coronary atherosclerosis at histology;
-
-
Acute myocardial ischemic changes detected at histology but not at autopsy, PMCT or PMCTA.
