The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of multi-slice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) in the diagnosis of cardiac diseases. Clinical and imaging data from 135 patients (73 males and 62females) their ages ranged (18-80 mean 56) years, Non-contrast study (Ca Score) was performed followed by 64-128 detector during 5 seconds breath hold. This study was done at the National Ribat hospital- Omer Sawi complex, Royal scan Diagnostic Centers and other Sudanese hospitals- Khartoum Sudan during the period from 2016 to 2018. The results of this study revealed that 135 patient with different complain CA CT 39 of them were normal, this study we had 8 patient had atherosclerotic plaques 5 of them were calcified 2were noncalcified and only one was mixed, the prevalence of the ca score excessive 9 mild 2 minimal 1 moderate 15 normal 5 total of 37, left coronary artery diseases were more common than right coronary artery anomalies. Male to female ratio was 54.1 to 45.9. It concluded that although further work is required to determine the prognostic utility of MSCT and to clarify its precise clinical role, the currently available data suggest that it will play an increasing role in the evaluation of patients with known or suspected CAD.
