An imaging method and an apparatus are disclosed for visualizing coronary heart diseases. An imaging tomographic technique is used to record and reconstruct one or more images of the heart or a region of the heart after a contrast agent injection. In the method, in a late period after the contrast agent injection, at least one first image of at least one part of the myocardium is recorded in which a maximum in a contrast agent flow caused by the contrast agent injection occurs, or is to be expected, in the myocardium. Subsequently the first image and/or at least one image derived from the first image for the purpose of better recognizability of a local undersupply of the myocardium are/is displayed. The method and/or the associated apparatus may enable the detection of vascular occlusions or vascular constrictions even in the case of relatively small vessels, which cannot be resolved with the aid of the conventional coronary CTA.
