Left atrial volume: comparison of 2D and 3D transthoracic echocardiography with ECG-gated CT angiography.
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Left atrial volume (LAV) measurement by conventional two-dimensional (2D) transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) may be limited by the geometric model, by suboptimal definition of left atrial endocardium, or by chamber foreshortening. Three-dimensional (3D) TTE is posited to eliminate chamber foreshortening, and LAV measurement by 3D TTE should be more reflective of true ...
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...

متن کاملEvaluation of CT angiography findings in the patients with clinical diagnosis of pulmonary thromboembolism
Background and Aim: Pulmonary thromboembolism is an important clinical problem in the patients after major surgeries and is often difficult to diagnose because of nonspecific clinical symptoms. Diagnosis of pulmonary embolism is based on medical imaging methods. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of CT pulmonary angiographies of the patients with primary clinical diagnosis of pul...
