Computed tomographic angiography in intracranial vascular diseases
Background. The development of spiral computed tomography (CT) introduced more precise imaging of the vessels also with computed tomographic angiography (CTA). Because it is minimaly invasive method, it was widely accepted by radiologists and clinicians. In early 90 ties CTA also accompanied conventional angiography and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in imaging of intracranial vascular di...
متن کاملPrognostic Value of Coronary Computed Tomographic Angiography in Diabetic Patients Without Known Coronary Artery Disease
OBJECTIVE Diabetic patients have a high prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD), but timely diagnosis of CAD remains challenging. We assessed the ability of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) to detect CAD in diabetic patients and to predict subsequent cardiac events. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We analyzed 140 diabetic patients without known CAD undergoing CCTA; 1,782 patien...
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...
متن کاملClinical Value of Coronary Computed Tomographic Angiography in Patients With Stable Angina.
Over the past decades, great strides have been made to establish coronary computed tomographic (CT) angiography within the field of cardiovascular medicine. The diagnostic accuracy of CT in comparison with invasive angiography was demonstrated in numerous singleand multicenter studies. From large registry data, an understanding developed of how cardiac CT could affect therapeutic management wit...
متن کاملUse of Coronary Computed Tomographic Angiography to Guide Management of Patients With Coronary Disease.
BACKGROUND In a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial, 4,146 patients were randomized to receive standard care or standard care plus coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to explore the consequences of CCTA-assisted diagnosis on invasive coronary angiography, preventive treatments, and clinical outcomes. METHODS In post hoc...
