Electron beam computed tomographic coronary calcium scanning: a review and guidelines for use in asymptomatic persons.
Coronary artery disease is the No. 1 cause of death in the developed world. Effective means of treatment such as drug therapy to lower cholesterol levels are available, but clinical application to patients at highest risk remains imprecise. Electron beam computed tomography (EBCT) has been suggested as a means to diagnose subclinical coronary disease and facilitate risk stratification, but no c...
متن کاملExcessive thoracic computed tomographic scanning in sarcoidosis.
BACKGROUND The clinical value of computed tomographic (CT) scanning of the chest in the initial assessment of sarcoidosis was investigated. METHODS One hundred consecutive patients referred to the sarcoidosis outpatient services of the Mount Sinai Medical Center, New York from 1990 to 1992 with a presumptive diagnosis of sarcoidosis were studied. The diagnosis was subsequently confirmed in al...
متن کاملScanning Electron Beam Profile Monitor
A scanning beam profile monitor is described that was developed for use along the Stanford two-mile linear accelerator. The maximum beam loss due to scattering caused by this monitor can be made to be a small fraction of that which would be caused by a Cerenkov radiator or scintillating screen. (To be submitted to the Review of Scientific Instruments) * Work supported by the U. S. Atomic Energy...
متن کاملElectron beam computed tomographic angiography and 3-dimensional reconstruction of a stented saphenous vein graft.
A70-year-old man with exertional angina presented for cardiac catheterization. The past medical history was significant for coronary artery bypass graft surgery in 1984 with placement of a left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft to the left anterior descending coronary artery and a single saphenous vein graft, sequentially, to 2 obtuse marginal vessels and the posterior descending coronary ar...
متن کاملcone beam computed tomographic assessment of bifid mandibular condyle
objectives: differential diagnosis of bifid mandibular condyle (bmc) is important, since it may play a role in temporomandibular joint (tmj) dysfunctions and joint symptoms. in addition, radiographic appearance of bmc may mimic tumors and/or fractures. the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and orientation of bmc based on cone beam computed tomography (cbct) scans. materials and...
