Diagnostic Performance of Coronary CT Angiography and Myocardial Perfusion Imaging in Kidney Transplantation Candidates.
OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of the coronary artery calcium score (CACS), coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and a combination of these tools in the diagnosis of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with chronic kidney disease referred for cardiac evaluation before kidne...
متن کاملCT angiography for surgical planning in face transplantation candidates.
SUMMARY Facial allotransplantation replaces missing facial structures with anatomically identical tissues, providing desired functional, esthetic, and psychosocial benefits far superior to those of conventional methods. On the basis of very encouraging initial results, it is likely that more procedures will be performed in the near future. Typical candidates have extremely complex vascular anat...
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),...
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 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 ...
