Risk stratification using computed tomography coronary angiography in patients undergoing intermediate-risk noncardiac surgery.

OBJECTIVES This study evaluated whether coronary artery calcium scores (CACS) and the degree of stenosis that were measured with computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) predicted post-operative cardiovascular events in patients who were undergoing intermediate-risk noncardiac surgery. BACKGROUND Cardiovascular complications are important causes of mortality and morbidity in patients u...

Enhanced risk stratification with noninvasive measurement of coronary flow reserve using positron emission tomography.

Major progress has been made in the development and clinical application of dynamic imaging and tracer kinetic models to accurately measure absolute blood flow and coronary flow reserve (CFR) using quantitative positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD).1–6 Assessing CFR provides significantly greater s...

Prediction of Human Vertebral Compressive Strength Using Quantitative Computed Tomography Based Nonlinear Finite Element Method

Introduction: Because of the importance of vertebral compressive fracture (VCF) role in increasing the patients’ death rate and reducing their quality of life, many studies have been conducted for a noninvasive prediction of vertebral compressive strength based on bone mineral density (BMD) determination and recently finite element analysis. In this study, QCT-voxel based nonlinear finite eleme...

Estimation of lung growth using computed tomography.

Anatomical studies suggest that normal lungs grow by rapid alveolar addition until about 2 yrs of age followed by a gradual increase in alveolar dimensions. The aim of this study was to examine the hypothesis that normal lung growth can be monitored by computed tomography (CT). Therefore, the gas volume per gram of lung tissue was estimated from measurements of lung density obtained from CT sca...

utilization of coronary computed tomography angiography for rapid risk stratification in emergency chest pain units

background: coronary computed tomography angiography (ccta) is a well-known method for evaluating anatomic coronary stenosis, but the reliability of ccta to predict cardiovascular events is an issue of controversy. materials and methods: in this prospective observational study, 58 patients with acute chest pain and low-to-moderate risk were selected and ccta was performed on them. during follow...
