Automatic Coronary Arteries Stenoses Detection in 3D CT angiography
Cardiovascular lesions are the world’s leading cause of mortality. Early detection of these diseases using less invasive techniques provides better therapeutic outcome, as well as reduces costs and risks, compared to an interventionist approach. In this work we propose a twostep severe cardiac stenoses detection approach. First we used the geometric model of the stenosis to detect suspicious ar...
متن کاملCoronary CT angiography in percutaneous coronary intervention
Technical advances have enabled multidetector CT to become the non-invasive modality of choice for coronary imaging. Recent clinical literature has supported the power of CCTA using 64-slice multidector CT scanners in the detection and ruling out of significant (> 50%) coronary artery disease, with an average negative predictive value of 98% on a per-patient basis [6-8]. With the capability of ...
متن کاملEvaluation of heavily calcified vessels with coronary CT angiography: comparison of iterative and filtered back projection image reconstruction.
PURPOSE To prospectively compare traditional filtered back projection (FBP) and iterative image reconstruction for the evaluation of heavily calcified arteries with coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study had institutional review board approval and was HIPAA compliant. Written informed consent was obtained from all patients. Fifty-five consecutive patien...
متن کاملCT coronary angiography vs. invasive coronary angiography in CHD
SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND Various diagnostic tests including conventional invasive coronary angiography and non-invasive computed tomography (CT) coronary angiography are used in the diagnosis of coronary heart disease (CHD). RESEARCH QUESTIONS The present report aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy, diagnostic accuracy, prognostic value cost-effectiveness as well as the ethical, social and leg...
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),...
