Coronary CT Angiography With PET Perfusion Imaging

Low radiation dose imaging of myocardial perfusion and coronary angiography with a hybrid PET/CT scanner

OBJECTIVES To test the image quality and feasibility of a sequential low radiation dose protocol for hybrid cardiac PET/CT angiography (CTA). BACKGROUND Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is a non-invasive method for coronary angiography. The negative predictive value of MDCT is high but perfusion imaging has a role in detecting functional significance of coronary lesions. This has enco...

Acute stroke imaging: CT with CT angiography and CT perfusion before management decisions.

Whole brain perfusion CT imaging and CT angiography with a 64-channel CT system

Due to the development of new computed tomography (CT) techniques over the last 30 years, there are a vast amount of new diagnostic options available today. When Sir G.N. Hounsfi eld invented CT [1] (based on the preliminary works of A. MacLeod Cormack), the acquisition of a single slice took more time than CT-angiography of the complete supraaortic circulation today. And, of course, the image ...
