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 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 کاملDevelopment and validation of a predictive screening tool for uninterpretable coronary CT angiography results.
BACKGROUND Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) is an excellent tool for noninvasive assessment of coronary arteries in low- to intermediate-risk individuals. However, the accuracy of CCTA heavily depends on image quality. Our objective was to develop and validate a tool to predict pre-CCTA risk of obtaining an uninterpretable result in symptomatic patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Among 8585 symptomat...
متن کاملComputed tomographic angiography in intracranial vascular diseases
Background. The development of spiral computed tomography (CT) introduced more precise imaging of the vessels also with computed tomographic angiography (CTA). Because it is minimaly invasive method, it was widely accepted by radiologists and clinicians. In early 90 ties CTA also accompanied conventional angiography and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in imaging of intracranial vascular di...
