Best-Quality Vessel Identification Using Vessel Quality Measure in Multiple-Phase Coronary CT Angiography
The detection of stenotic plaques strongly depends on the quality of the coronary arterial tree imaged with coronary CT angiography (cCTA). However, it is time consuming for the radiologist to select the best-quality vessels from the multiple-phase cCTA for interpretation in clinical practice. We are developing an automated method for selection of the best-quality vessels from coronary arterial...
متن کاملImage quality in reduced-dose coronary CT angiography.
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Concerns for patient's risk of radiation-induced cancer have increased demand for reduced-dose coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). Previous comparisons of full and reduced-dose CCTA were not conclusive, because results were compared in different groups of patients. Presented here are results in patients examined by a widely used full dose CCTA protocol and ...
متن کاملOverview image of the lumen and vessel wall in coronary CT angiography.
BACKGROUND There is no post-processing technique that can display an overview image of the lumen and vessel wall of a whole heart in one image. A merging coronary lumen view (Angiographic View) with a plaque image can provide a single, comprehensive image of plaque distribution. METHODS AND RESULTS A color-coded plaque image is assigned to different computed tomography attenuation ranges in t...
متن کاملAutomatic Coronary Artery Segmentation Using Active Search for Branches and Seemingly Disconnected Vessel Segments from Coronary CT Angiography
We propose a Bayesian tracking and segmentation method of coronary arteries on coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA). The geometry of coronary arteries including lumen boundary is estimated in Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) framework. Three consecutive sphere based filtering is combined with a stochastic process that is based on the similarity of the consecutive local neighborhood voxels...
متن کاملMultiphase CT angiography versus single-phase CT angiography: comparison of image quality and radiation dose.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Conventional CT angiography (CTA) is acquired during only a short interval in the arterial phase, which limits its ability to evaluate the cerebral circulation. Our aim was to compare the image quality and radiation dose of conventional single-phase CTA (SP-CTA) with a multiphase CTA (MP-CTA) algorithm reconstructed from a perfusion CT (PCT) dataset. MATERIALS AND METHO...
