Coronary CT angiography.
Advances in multidetector CT (MDCT) technology with submillimeter slice collimation and high temporal resolution permit contrast-enhanced imaging of coronary arteries and coronary plaque during a single breath hold. Appropriate patient preparation, detailed technical and technological knowledge with regard to recognition of typical imaging artifacts (such as beam hardening or motion artifacts),...
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 کاملPenetrating neck injuries: helical CT angiography for initial evaluation.
PURPOSE To report an experience with helical computed tomographic (CT) angiography as the initial procedure to rule out arterial lesions caused by penetrating neck injuries. MATERIALS AND METHODS During 27 months, 175 patients were referred for helical CT angiography of the neck because of clinical suspicion of arterial injuries. The protocol included a 100-mL bolus of nonionic contrast mater...
متن کاملCoronary CT angiography for acute chest pain.
Each year, more than 6 million people in the United States go to emergency departments because of acute chest pain. Some of them have coronary artery disease, but most have diseases that are unrelated to the heart or they have no discernible physiological conditions. The vast majority will undergo various diagnostic tests, and many will be held for observation and may be admitted to the hospita...
