CT functional imaging using intracoronary gradient analysis: an indispensable boost for CT coronary angiography.
The saga of CT coronary angiography continues and new exciting developments are on the horizon. We have witnessed the astounding rapid developments in CT technology from 4-, 16-, 64-, 128-, 256-, to 320-slice acquisition, with tube rotational speed increasing from 250 to 87 ms and with ever decreasing radiation exposure from 20 to ,1 mSv with the preservation of image quality. One would think t...
متن کاملQuantitative Analysis of Coronary Vessels with Optimized Intracoronary CT Number
BACKGROUND Variability in intracoronary computed tomography (CT) number may influence vessel quantification. We confirmed the feasibility of a novel method for measuring vessel diameter and area using coronary CT angiography (CCTA) with an optimized intracoronary CT number, 350 HU. METHODS We performed intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging in 52 patients with significant stenosis detected b...
متن کاملCoronary CT angiography.
Advances in multidetector CT (MDCT) technology with submillimeter slice collimation and high temporal resolution permit contrast-enhanced imaging of coronary arteries and coronary plaque during a single breath hold. Appropriate patient preparation, detailed technical and technological knowledge with regard to recognition of typical imaging artifacts (such as beam hardening or motion artifacts),...
متن کاملCoronary CT angiography for acute chest pain.
Each year, more than 6 million people in the United States go to emergency departments because of acute chest pain. Some of them have coronary artery disease, but most have diseases that are unrelated to the heart or they have no discernible physiological conditions. The vast majority will undergo various diagnostic tests, and many will be held for observation and may be admitted to the hospita...
متن کاملCT coronary angiography for diagnosing vascular anomalies.
CT scanning of the heart is becoming increasingly common in Norway. CT coronary angiography is a non-invasive method used to diagnose and chart arteriosclerotic disease. The method also lends itself to the detection of anatomical variants such as coronary anomalies. According to the literature, coronary artery anomalies occur in 0.2 – 1.2 % of the population (1). As a rule the anomalies have no...
