Multidetector-Row Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography
onsiderable progress has recently been achieved in the field of noninvasive imaging of the coronary arteries by computed tomography (CT). Multidetector-row CT (MDCT) scanners are equipped with thinner detectors and have a shorter rotation time, which enables considerably faster volume coverage with a thinner slice width during a single breath hold. The entire heart volume can be covered with ne...
متن کاملcurrent applications of coronary and cardiac multidetector computed tomography
cardiovascular disease remains the principal cause of death in the modernized world. several novel noninvasive imaging techniques have been recently developed to improve diagnosis of cardiac and coronary disease. of these advances, multidetector computed tomographic (mdct) angiography has evolved most dramatically to transform computed tomography from a single-slice trans-axial modality to ...
متن کاملCoronary endothelial dysfunction and non-contrast multidetector computed tomography.
Previous authors have evaluated endothelial dysfunction after intracoronary infusion of acetylcholine by Doppler flow wire (coronary blood flow) or invasive coronary angiography (coronary artery vasodilation).4–6 More recent reports have shown that non-invasive assessment of myocardial blood flow (MBF) by positron emission tomography (PET) can effectively evaluate coronary endothelial dysfuncti...
متن کاملPrognostic Value of Multidetector Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography in Diabetes
OBJECTIVE To assess the prognostic role of multidetector computed tomography coronary angiography (MDCT-CA) in patients with diabetes with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Use of MDCT-CA is increasing in patients with suspected CAD. However, data supporting its prognostic value in patients with diabetes are limited. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Between January 2006 and September 2007, ...
متن کاملCharacterization of coronary atherosclerotic plaques by multidetector computed tomography.
Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) provides 3-dimensional noninvasive visualization of the coronary arterial tree. We compared MDCT with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for assessment of severity of coronary artery stenosis and composition of atherosclerotic plaques in 40 patients (32 men; mean age 52 years, range 33 to 86) with documented coronary artery disease. Cross-sectional images o...
