Noninvasive detection of coronary lesions using 16-detector multislice spiral computed tomography technology: initial clinical results.
OBJECTIVES The aim of our study was to evaluate the feasibility of detecting coronary artery lesions using a new computed tomography (CT) scanner with 16 detectors and faster gantry rotation. BACKGROUND Computed tomography angiography of the coronaries permits assessment of the coronaries; however, image quality is still impaired by motion artifacts and calcifications. METHODS Sixty patient...
متن کاملNoninvasive coronary artery imaging by multislice spiral computed tomography.
Although the excellent spatial resolution of multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) enables the coronary arteries to be visualized, its limited temporal resolution results in poor image reproducibility because of cardiac motion artifact (CMA) and hence limits its widespread clinical use. A novel retrospectively ECG-gated reconstruction method has been developed to minimize CMA. In 88 cons...
متن کاملNoninvasive coronary angiography with multislice computed tomography.
CONTEXT Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) has recently evolved as a modality for noninvasive coronary imaging. OBJECTIVE To assess the accuracy and robustness of MSCT vs the criterion standard of invasive coronary angiography for detection of obstructive coronary artery disease. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS Prospective, single-center study conducted in a referral center setting in Germ...
متن کاملDiagnostic accuracy of noninvasive coronary imaging using 16-detector slice spiral computed tomography with 188 ms temporal resolution.
OBJECTIVES The aim of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of 16-multi-detector spiral computed tomography (MDCT) with 188 ms temporal resolution. BACKGROUND Because of rapid technical innovations, MDCT coronary imaging has significantly improved in the last five years. Recent results indicate a high diagnostic accuracy, especially in patients with clinical suspicion of coronary ...
متن کاملUsefulness of 16-slice multislice spiral computed tomography for follow-up study of coronary stent implantation.
BACKGROUND Although multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) is a promising technique for non-invasive coronary angiography, its usefulness in patients with stent implantation remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to compare the usefulness of MSCT with that of invasive coronary angiography for evaluating coronary stent patency. METHODS AND RESULTS Thirty-one patients were enro...
