Virtual coronary angioscopy using multislice computed tomography.
BACKGROUND With faster image acquisition times and thinner slice widths, multislice detector computed tomography (MSCT) allows visualisation of human coronary arteries with diagnostic image quality. In addition to conventional axial slices, virtual coronary angioscopies (VCA) can be reconstructed using MSCT datasets. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility of reconstructing VCA and to determine...

متن کامل3D Interactive Virtual Angioscopy
In this paper, we present a system for interactive explorations of extraand intracranial blood vessels. Starting with a stack of images from rotation angiography, we apply virtual clips to limit the segmentation of the vessel tree to the parts the neuroradiologists are interested in. Furthermore, methods of interactive virtual endoscopy are applied in order to provide an interior view of the bl...
متن کاملCoronary lesion complexity assessed by SYNTAX score in 256-slice dual-source MDCT angiography.
PURPOSE The SYNTAX Score (SS) has an important role in grading the complexity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients undergoing revascularization. Noninvasive determination of SS prior to invasive coronary angiography (ICA) might optimize patient management. We aimed to evaluate the agreement between ICA and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) while testing the diagnostic effectivene...
متن کاملPercutaneous coronary angioscopy.
Morphologic changes in the coronary arteries of patients with ischemic heart disease were evaluated by angiography. Although a powerful diagnostic tool, angiography can show only the shadow of the luminal changes and therefore is an insufficient tool for diagnosis of pathological changes. Recent advances in fi beroptic technology now enable observation of the luminal changes even in small diame...
