متن کاملProbabilistic model for prediction of angiographically defined obstructive coronary artery disease using electron beam computed tomography calcium score strata.
BACKGROUND Electron beam CT (EBCT) is an accurate, noninvasive method to detect and quantify coronary artery calcification, a marker of coronary artery disease (CAD). This investigation examined the accuracy of EBCT to detect obstructive CAD (> or =50% stenosis) and determined the optimal strata for quantity of coronary artery calcification to facilitate clinical decision-making. METHODS AND ...
متن کاملCoronary artery fly-through using electron beam computed tomography.
BACKGROUND Virtual reality techniques have recently been introduced into clinical medicine. This study examines the possibility of coronary artery fly-through using a dataset obtained by noninvasive coronary angiography with contrast-enhanced electron-beam computed tomography. METHODS AND RESULTS Ten patients were examined, and 40 to 60 transaxial tomograms (thickness, 1.5 mm; in-plane pixel ...
متن کاملAssessment of coronary plaque progression in coronary computed tomography angiography using a semiquantitative score.
OBJECTIVES We sought to describe the progression of coronary atherosclerotic plaque over time by computed tomography (CT) angiography stratified by plaque composition and its association with cardiovascular risk profiles. BACKGROUND Data on the progression of atherosclerosis stratified by plaque composition with the use of noninvasive assessment by CT are limited and hampered by high measurem...
