The diagnosis of primary cardiac lymphoma was facilitated by computed tomographic coronary angiography

Primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) is a rare entity that leads to fatal symptoms such as serious arrhythmia. The present case was an 80-year-old female with severe dyspnea caused by 30 bpm bradycardia. Computed tomography revealed a tumor invading to the right inferior myocardium. A computed tomographic coronary angiography (CTCA) study revealed the right coronary artery penetrating the tumor with ...

Congenital coronary anomalies detected by coronary computed tomography compared to invasive coronary angiography

BACKGROUND As coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has emerged as a non-invasive alternative for evaluation of coronary anatomy with a lower referral threshold than invasive coronary angiography (ICA), the prevalence of coronary anomalies in CCTA may more closely reflect the true prevalence in the general population. Morphological features of coronary anomalies can be evaluated more ...

Coronary computed tomographic angiography: its role in emergency department triage.

Coronary computed tomographic angiography and incidental pulmonary nodules.

I ncidental findings are an important topic in diagnostic imaging. Because of the comprehensive nature of computed tomography (CT) scanning, incidental findings are seemingly found on almost every CT scan performed for a wide variety of reasons in a radiology department. Many of these incidental findings such as a liver cyst are benign and immediately dismissed. Other findings require more exte...
