Is computed tomographic angiography prognostic in patients with cardiac symptoms?
e welcome the interest of Drs. Rapezzi and colleagues in our rticle (1). We did not discuss radionuclide imaging of amyloid ith tracers developed for bone scintigraphy because few data are vailable and because of constraints of space. Bone scintigraphy in myloidosis has been evaluated systematically only in very small eries (2), and there is no evidence as yet for a specific molecular nteractio...
متن کاملPULMONARY VASCULATURE Computed tomographic pulmonary angiography and prognostic significance in patients with acute pulmonary embolism
Background: Patients with acute pulmonary embolism (APE) present with a broad spectrum of prognoses. Computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) has progressively been established as a first line test in the APE diagnostic algorithm, but estimation of short term prognosis by this method remains to be explored. Methods: Eighty two patients admitted with APE were divided into three groups a...

متن کاملRadiation-reduction strategies in cardiac computed tomographic angiography.
Ionizing radiation has long been known to increase the risk of cancer. X-rays and γ-rays are officially classified as a carcinogen by the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer.(1) Of the 5 billion imaging investigations performed worldwide two-thirds employ ionizing radiation.(2) Diagnostic x-rays are the largest man-made source of radiation exposure to the gen...
متن کاملCardiac computed tomographic angiography for detection of cardiac sources of embolism in stroke patients.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We assessed the diagnostic performance of 2-phase 64-slice cardiac computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) for the detection of a cardiac source of embolism in stroke patients using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) as the reference standard. METHODS We selected 137 patients who had experienced a recent episode of stroke and had undergone both 2-phase 64-slice CCTA...
