Comparison between helical computed tomography angiography and intraoperative findings

Noncardiac findings in computed tomography coronary angiography.

former SNP alters the gene responsiveness to statins: statins would up-regulate eNOS expression (2) more potently in -786C homozygous (3) and therefore, these subjects would generate more NO while on statins than subjects with the other genotypes. Accordingly, atorvastatin increased NO availability and reduced inflammatory marker concentrations in CC, but not in TT healthy men (4). However, we ...

Imaging of intracoronary thrombus by multidetector helical computed tomography angiography.

An 83-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with a 2-hour history of sudden chest pain and dyspnea. An initial ECG demonstrated nonspecific ST changes, and a portable chest x-ray suggested a widened mediastinum. A thoracic multidetector helical computed tomography (CT) angiogram was obtained to assess the possibility of aortic dissection (GE LightSpeed Plus, 2.5-mm collimation wi...

Incidental Findings in Patients Evaluated for Pulmonary Embolism Using Computed Tomography Angiography

Introduction: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common lethal disease that its clinical symptoms may be seen in many other diseases. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is a valuable diagnostic modality for detection of PE. In addition, it can accurately detect the other diseases with clinical symptoms similar to PE. The aim of this study is to evaluate the frequency of PE and nonemboli...

Association between clinical and cone-beam computed tomography findings in patients with temporomandibular disorders

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The aim of this study was to assess the association between the clinical and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) findings in relation to bony changes in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD).METHODS: According to the research diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorder (RDC/TMD), forty-one patients with type II TMD (42 TM joints) and type III TMD (40 TM joi...
