Dual-source CT coronary angiographic evaluation of coronary artery fistulas
The aim of the present study was to retrospectively evaluate the incidence and morphological features of coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) detected by dual-source computed tomography coronary angiography (DS-CTCA). Between January 2011 and January 2013, 19,584 consecutive patients that had undergone electrocardiogram-triggering DS-CTCA were retrospectively reviewed. Image reconstructions were per...
متن کاملProspective-triggered high-pitch spiral versus sequential dual-source CT coronary angiography: comparison of image quality and radiation dose
Background: Prospectively electrocardiography (ECG)-triggered high-pitch spiral coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a unique scan mode for dual-source CT (DSCT). Our reports aim to compare image quality and radiation dose of CCTA using high-pitch spiral or sequential acquisition mode in patients with low and stable heart rates. Materials and Methods: Patients with low and stable ...
متن کاملLow-dose dual-source CT angiography with iterative reconstruction for coronary artery stent evaluation.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the image quality and diagnostic accuracy of very low-dose, dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) angiography for the evaluation of coronary stents. BACKGROUND Iterative reconstruction (IR) leads to substantial reduction of image noise and hence permits the use of very low-dose data acquisition protocols in coronary computed tomography ang...
متن کاملComparison of coronary CT angiography with conventional coronary angiography in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease.
Noninvasive CT coronary angiography is a promising coronary imaging technique. In spite of the unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution and the inability to perform therapeutic interventions in the same session multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) has been considering a promising alternative, non invasive tool for coronary artery imaging due to its high sensitivity and specificity for...
متن کاملconus artery in coronary ct angiography
conclusions in most cases, the conus artery can be visualized in cardiac ct. a description of the conus artery should be a part of the standard clinical coronary ct angiography description. objectives to examine whether it is possible to visualize the conus artery in multi-slice computed tomography (ct). patients and methods in 79 consecutive patients (aged 56 ± 12.9 years; 13 women), 64-slice ...
