Methods According to the improved classification of the American Heart Association is divided into 17 segments of the coronary arteries by two independent radiologists evaluate the quality, radiation dose to patients while statistics. The results of two radiologists agreed on image quality evaluation, the front door back door control controlled coronary angiography and no significant difference in image quality. the front door of the radiation dose control coronary angiography control over the back door down about 70%, with significant statistical difference. Conclusions and door control compared to the front door to keep control in the coronary artery image quality while reducing radiation dose. [Keywords:] Tomography; CT; coronary angiography; Coronary Artery Disease Multislice CT coronary angiography is a noninvasive diagnosis of coronary artery disease check method, retrospectively ECG-gated (rear control) coronary angiography R waves taken retrospectively measured time, while movement in the scanning bed with spiral scan . Although retrospectively ECG-gated imaging of a relatively high rate of accuracy, but the scan had a higher radiation dose (1 to 3). prospective ECG gating (front control) is a CT for coronary artery imaging technologies, R wave duration predicted ahead of time to take step-method of non spiral image acquisition, the scanning bed during the scanning process is static (4). the front door is only the need of control, like the CT scan, and door control is the cardiac cycle in all scans. This study focused on the front door to 256 slice CT coronary angiography control and rear control image quality and radi
