Dual source computed tomography coronary angiography in new onset cardiomyopathy.
AIM To evaluate safety and utility of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) compared to invasive coronary angiography (ICA) in new cardiomyopathy. METHODS Eighteen patients (mean age 56.5 years, 10 males) who presented for evaluation of new onset heart failure with evidence of systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction < 40%) on echocardiography and recent ICA were prospectively enroll...
متن کاملHighly accurate coronary angiography with submillimetre, 16 slice computed tomography.
OBJECTIVE To assess submillimetre coronary computed tomographic angiography (CTA) in comparison with invasive quantitative coronary angiography as the gold standard and to examine the effect of significant coronary artery calcification (CAC), which is known to impede lumen visualisation, on the accuracy of the examination. METHODS After invasive coronary angiography, 58 patients underwent cor...
متن کاملImage Quality of 256-Slice Computed Tomography for Coronary Angiography.
PURPOSE To assess the image quality of 256-slice computed tomographic angiography (CTA) and to identify possible impact factors associated with image quality. METHODS From November 2009 to January 2010, 506 patients underwent 256-slice CTA at our institute. A total of 451 patients were enrolled in our study, after 55 patients were excluded because of prior bypass surgery and stenting. CTA ima...
متن کاملComputed tomography coronary angiography.
Recent developments in computed tomography technology have made imaging of the coronary arteries possible. All the same, the rapid motion and small dimensions of the coronary vessels make coronary computed tomography angiography (coronary CTA) challenging. With the last generations of 16- and 64-slice computed tomography and adequate patient preparation (which includes lowering of the heart rat...
متن کاملClinical applications of virtual, non-contrast head images derived from dual-source, dual-energy cerebrovascular computed tomography angiography
Background: This study set out to evaluate the utility of cerebrovascular virtual non-contrast (VNC) scans. Materials and Methods: Conventional non-contrast (CNC) and dual-energy computed tomography angiography (DE-CTA) head scans were conducted on 100 subjects, of which 46 were normal, 15 had parenchymal hematomas of the brain, 13 had ischemic infarction, 22 had tumors, and 4 had calcified les...
