Aortic size assessment by noncontrast cardiac computed tomography: normal limits by age, gender, and body surface area.
OBJECTIVES To determine normal limits for ascending and descending thoracic aorta diameters in a large population of asymptomatic, low-risk adult subjects. BACKGROUND Assessment of aortic size is possible from gated noncontrast computed tomography (CT) scans obtained for coronary calcium measurements. However, normal limits for aortic size by these studies have yet to be defined. METHODS In...
متن کاملReference Values for Normal Pulmonary Artery Dimensions by Noncontrast Cardiac Computed Tomography
Background—Main pulmonary artery diameter (mPA) and ratio of mPA to ascending aorta diameter (ratio PA) derived from chest CT are commonly reported in clinical practice. We determined the ageand sex-specific distribution and normal reference values for mPA and ratio PA by CT in an asymptomatic community-based population. Methods and Results—In 3171 men and women (mean age, 51 10 years; 51% men)...

BACKGROUND Main pulmonary artery diameter (mPA) and ratio of mPA to ascending aorta diameter (ratio PA) derived from chest CT are commonly reported in clinical practice. We determined the age- and sex-specific distribution and normal reference values for mPA and ratio PA by CT in an asymptomatic community-based population. METHODS AND RESULTS In 3171 men and women (mean age, 51±10 years; 51% ...
متن کاملQuadricuspid Aortic Valve Defined by Echocardiography and Cardiac Computed Tomography
A 54 year old female presented with lower extremity edema, fatigue, and shortness of breath with physical findings indicative of advanced aortic insufficiency. Echocardiography showed severe aortic regurgitation and a probable quadricuspid aortic valve. In anticipation of aortic valve replacement, cardiac computed tomography (Cardiac CT) was performed using 100 kV, 420 mA which resulted in 6 mS...
متن کاملAssessment of Accessory Mental Foramen by Cone-Beam Computed Tomography
Introduction: Any foramen in the buccal surface of mandibular body that transfers mental nerve and vessels except mental foramen, is called Accessory Mental Foramen (AMF). The objective of this study was the determination of the AMF using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: this descriptive study was done on 180 CBCT projections which were selected by convenience samp...
