Noninvasive coronary angiography with multislice computed tomography.
CONTEXT Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) has recently evolved as a modality for noninvasive coronary imaging. OBJECTIVE To assess the accuracy and robustness of MSCT vs the criterion standard of invasive coronary angiography for detection of obstructive coronary artery disease. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS Prospective, single-center study conducted in a referral center setting in Germ...
متن کاملNoninvasive assessment of coronary artery disease by multislice spiral computed tomography using a new retrospectively ECG-gated image reconstruction technique.
The present study was designed to investigate the accuracy of multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) in detecting coronary artery disease, compared with coronary angiography (CAG), using a new retrospectively ECG-gated reconstruction method that reduced cardiac motion artifact. The study group comprised 54 consecutive patients undergoing MSCT and CAG. MSCT was performed using a SOMATOM Vo...
متن کاملNoninvasive coronary artery imaging by multislice spiral computed tomography.
Although the excellent spatial resolution of multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) enables the coronary arteries to be visualized, its limited temporal resolution results in poor image reproducibility because of cardiac motion artifact (CMA) and hence limits its widespread clinical use. A novel retrospectively ECG-gated reconstruction method has been developed to minimize CMA. In 88 cons...
متن کاملNoninvasive evaluation with multislice computed tomography in suspected acute coronary syndrome: plaque morphology on multislice computed tomography versus coronary calcium score.
OBJECTIVES Our aim was to evaluate the atherosclerotic plaque burden and morphology as determined by 64-slice multislice computed tomography (MSCT) coronary angiography in relation to the calcium score in patients presenting with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS). BACKGROUND The absence of coronary calcium during coronary calcium scoring has been proposed to rule out significant coronar...
متن کاملNoninvasive coronary angiography by retrospectively ECG-gated multislice spiral CT.
BACKGROUND We investigated the applicability and image quality of contrast-enhanced coronary artery visualization by multislice spiral CT using retrospective ECG gating. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-five patients in sinus rhythm (significant coronary artery stenoses ruled out by invasive angiography) were studied with a multislice spiral CT (Siemens SOMATOM Volume Zoom). In inspiration (mean br...
