Aortic Stenosis: Evaluation with Multidetector CT Angiography and MR Imaging
Aortic valvular stenosis (AS) is the most common valve disease which results in the need for a valve replacement. Although a Doppler echocardiography is the current reference imaging method, the multidetector computerized tomograpghy (MDCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have recently emerged as a promising method for noninvasive valve imaging. In this study, we briefly describe the usefu...
متن کاملOveruse and underuse of pulmonary CT angiography in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism
Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the utilization and diagnostic yields of CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) using the Revised Geneva score and Wells’ criteria, in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE). Methods: One hundred and twelve adult patients underwent CTPA for suspected PE were participated in this study. The outcome was positive or neg...
متن کاملCT pulmonary angiography: an over-utilized imaging modality in hospitalized patients with suspected pulmonary embolism
AIMS To determine if computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) was overemployed in the evaluation of hospitalized patients with suspected acute pulmonary embolism (PE). METHODS Data were gathered retrospectively on hospitalized patients (n=185) who had CTPA for suspected PE between June and August 2009 at our institution. RESULTS CTPA was done in 185 hospitalized patients to diagnos...
متن کاملDiagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension and pulmonary embolism with magnetic resonance angiography.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary magnetic resonance angiography (PMRA) has been proven to be accurate for the diagnosis of suspected acute or chronic pulmonary embolism (PE). Only limited data exist on the reliability of PMRA for the diagnosis of acute and chronic pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of PMRA in the differentiation between patients sufferi...
متن کاملEvaluation of CT angiography findings in the patients with clinical diagnosis of pulmonary thromboembolism
Background and Aim: Pulmonary thromboembolism is an important clinical problem in the patients after major surgeries and is often difficult to diagnose because of nonspecific clinical symptoms. Diagnosis of pulmonary embolism is based on medical imaging methods. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of CT pulmonary angiographies of the patients with primary clinical diagnosis of pul...
