Coronary CT angiography in the elderly
People over 75 years of age represent a specific group of patients for which the clinician is often in doubt about what to do, whether additional diagnostic workup is helpful or a primary medical approach would suffice. However, this patient population is less prone to the long-term effects of radiation burden or contrast medium-induced nephropathy, and therefore it may be especially worthwhile...
متن کاملDiagnostic optimization of coronary CT angiography.
m c Combined evaluation of coronary anatomy and myocardial ischemia has become the holy grail of noninvasive diagnostic imaging. Several approaches, such as hybrid imaging combining coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) for anatomy and stress-rest nuclear imaging for perfusion, are adding to the complexity, cost, and radiation burden of both techniques. In theory, a single imaging devi...
متن کاملdiagnostic performance of multislice ct coronary angiography in the assessment of significant coronary artery disease
the use of noninvasive assessment tools such as multi-slice ct coronary angiography (msct-ca-ca) is recently considered mainly because it offers safety, patient convenience, and faster performance. the aim of the present study was to determine the ability of msct-ca-ca for the detection of significant stenoses in the coronary arteries, in comparison to conventional invasive coronary angiography...
متن کاملAn update on three-dimensional ct angiography in aneurysms: a useful modality for a neurosurgeon.
The role of three-dimensional computed tomography angiography (3D-CTA) in management of aneurysms has been fairly acknowledged in the past. There have been numerous articles in the literature regarding its potential threat to the conventional "gold standard", i.e. digital subtraction angiography (DSA). We study the technology used at a tertiary care hospital in Japan which performs a large numb...
متن کاملDiagnostic performance of coronary angiography by 64-row CT.
BACKGROUND The accuracy of multidetector computed tomographic (CT) angiography involving 64 detectors has not been well established. METHODS We conducted a multicenter study to examine the accuracy of 64-row, 0.5-mm multidetector CT angiography as compared with conventional coronary angiography in patients with suspected coronary artery disease. Nine centers enrolled patients who underwent ca...
