We were able to depict the coronary artery origins in all 7 cases with VR. Coronary artery aneurysms were well demonstrated in all the Kawasaki cases. Large collaterals in the ALCAPA were well shown by VR. The spatial relationship between the Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm and the coronary arteries were well demonstrated. Teenagers had larger coronaries and segmentation time used was less than that of infants (2\u2005h vs. 1\u2005h).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
