Assessment of coronary plaque morphology by contrast-enhanced computed tomographic angiography: comparison with intravascular ultrasound.
BACKGROUND Computed tomographic (CT) angiography provides accurate noninvasive assessment for coronary artery stenosis. The ability of CT angiography to determine plaque morphology remains unclear. METHODS Twelve patients undergoing intravascular ultrasound for clinical indications underwent CT angiography for the evaluation of plaque morphology. Plaque morphology was classified as (1) soft, ...

متن کاملDiagnosing cerebral aneurysms by computed tomographic angiography: meta-analysis.
OBJECTIVE Cerebral aneurysms can cause substantial morbidity and mortality, specifically if they rupture, leading to nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This meta-analysis summarizes evidence about the accuracy of noninvasive computed tomographic (CT) angiography for diagnosing intracranial aneurysms in symptomatic patients. METHODS Four databases including PubMed were searched withou...
متن کاملPulmonary sequestration diagnosed by multidetector computed tomographic angiography.
A 58-year-old man presented with persistent lung mass (Fig. 1). Pulmonary sequestration was diagnosed with multidetector CT angiography (MDCT) (Fig. 2). Advantages of MDCT over conventional angiography include its non-invasive nature, improved resolution and delineation of vasculature, 3D renderings, shorter acquisition time, and less exposure to radiation. Fig. 1. Computed tomography of the ch...
متن کاملIs computed tomographic angiography prognostic in patients with cardiac symptoms?
e welcome the interest of Drs. Rapezzi and colleagues in our rticle (1). We did not discuss radionuclide imaging of amyloid ith tracers developed for bone scintigraphy because few data are vailable and because of constraints of space. Bone scintigraphy in myloidosis has been evaluated systematically only in very small eries (2), and there is no evidence as yet for a specific molecular nteractio...
