Expanding CT Application to Myocardial Tissue Characterization.
C omputed tomography (CT) has evolved into a powerful diagnostic tool, and since the advent of 64-detector row scanners, it has been demonstrated as a promising noninvasive method for coronary artery stenosis imaging (1). Although the basic physical principle of CT is unidimensional, a function of x-ray attenuation detected from multiple orientations around the imaged object, exciting new techn...
متن کاملMyocardial Tissue Characterization: Histological and Pathophysiological Correlation
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has become the gold standard not only for cardiac volume and function quantification, but for a key unique strength: non-invasive myocardial tissue characterization. Several different techniques, separately or in combination, can detect and quantify early and established myocardial pathological processes permitting better diagnosis, prognosticatio...
متن کاملMyocardial Tissue Characterization by Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is a well-established noninvasive imaging modality in clinical cardiology. Its unsurpassed accuracy in defining cardiac morphology and function and its ability to provide tissue characterization make it well suited for the study of patients with cardiac diseases. Late gadolinium enhancement was a major advancement in the development of tissue characteriz...
متن کاملDevelopment and Characterization of Synthetic Tissue- Equivalent Material for CT Imaging Applications
Introduction: The use of a simple tissue analog material in the fabrication of medical computed tomography (CT) imaging phantoms has great potential to help researchers. The purpose of the present study is to develop new gel tissue-equivalent materials and determine whether their CT numbers and relative electron densities vary in CT images obtained by scans at different energie...
متن کاملHistogram analysis- a useful tool for tissue characterization in brain CT
Introduction: Pixel value in computed tomography (CT) gives the average linear attenuation coefficient of the scanned material in the path of the x-ray beam, being normalized to that of water. It is known that attenuation coefficient or HU value is a function of the chemical characteristic of the material and of the x-ray energy. The CT image shows the HU value by a shade of gr...
