Multislice CT angiography in cardiac imaging: prospective ECG-gating or retrospective ECG-gating?
With the advent of multislice CT more than a decade ago, multislice CT angiography has demonstrated a huge potential in the less invasive imaging of cardiovascular disease, especially in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. The diagnostic accuracy of multislice CT angiography has been significantly augmented with the rapid technical developments ranging from the initial 4-slice, to the cur...
متن کاملLow kilovolt “prospective ECG-triggering” vs. “retrospective ECG-gating” coronary CTA: comparison of image quality and radiation dose
Background: To compare image quality and radiation doses of low kilovolt (kV) “prospective ECG-triggering” (PT) and standard “retrospective ECG-gating” (RG) coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography. Materials and Methods: A total of 101 consecutive patients (76 males, 25 females; mean age: 55.44 ± 8.28 years) with low-to-intermediate risk status for coronary artery disease and with a body ...
متن کاملProspective and retrospective ECG gating for thoracic CT angiography: a comparative study.
OBJECTIVE The objective of our study was to compare radiation dose, contrast load, thoracic aortic attenuation value, and image quality parameters of MDCT thoracic aortography performed with prospective and retrospective cardiac gating. MATERIALS AND METHODS Studies were performed on 80 patients (prospective ECG gating, n = 40; retrospective ECG gating, n = 40) either being evaluated for thor...
متن کاملCoronary CT Angiography Incorporating Doppler-Guided Prospective ECG Gating in Patients with High Heart Rate: Comparison with Results of Traditional Prospective ECG Gating
PURPOSE As Doppler ultrasound has been proven to be an effective tool to predict and compress the optimal pulsing windows, we evaluated the effective dose and diagnostic accuracy of coronary CT angiography (CTA) incorporating Doppler-guided prospective electrocardiograph (ECG) gating, which presets pulsing windows according to Doppler analysis, in patients with a heart rate >65 bpm. MATERIALS...
متن کاملFeasibility of low-dose coronary CT angiography: first experience with prospective ECG-gating.
AIMS To determine the feasibility of prospective electrocardiogram (ECG)-gating to achieve low-dose computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA). METHODS AND RESULTS Forty-one consecutive patients with suspected (n = 35) or known coronary artery disease (n = 6) underwent 64-slice CTCA using prospective ECG-gating. Individual radiation dose exposure was estimated from the dose-length produc...
