Acute chest pain is a common clinical emergency condition with a variety of causes, including acute coronary syndrome, pulmonary embolism, aortic coarctation, and pneumothorax. It is essential for emergency physicians to quickly and accurately understand the cause of acute chest pain. 64-slice spiral CT combined cardiothoracic angiography is an accurate and rapid way to diagnose and differentiate the cause of acute chest pain. 64-slice combined cardiothoracic angiography can accurately and rapidly display the thoracic aorta, both pulmonary arteries, the main trunk of the coronary artery and its major branches, and also provide a comprehensive view of both lungs and mediastinum, which is an effective test for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of acute chest pain. Based on this, this study further investigated the value of 64-slice spiral CT triplex examination in the diagnosis of acute chest pain. The results showed that 64-slice spiral CT has the advantages of fast scanning speed, high resolution, and advanced postprocessing technology, and combined cardiothoracic angiography can quickly and accurately help emergency physicians analyze the cause of acute chest pain, which plays a very important role in formulating the correct treatment plan in a timely manner. At the same time, with the continuous development of CT technology, the temporal and spatial resolution has improved the quality of CT images, giving us more options to reduce the effective radiation dose and reduce the total amount of contrast, making the 64-row spiral CT cardiothoracic imaging more perfect.
