Radiation exposure for coronary artery calcium score at prospective 320 row multi - detector computed tomography
Purpose: To date there is extensive data on the radiation dose for assessing coronary artery calcium scores (CACS) with 4-64 row multidetector MDCT. However with the advent of 320 row MDCT, the entire heart can be imaged in one beat and thus potentially reduce the radiation dose. The aim of this study was to evaluate radiation dose for CACS on low-dose prospective EKG-triggered 320 row MDCT. Ma...
متن کاملMultidetector-Row Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography
onsiderable progress has recently been achieved in the field of noninvasive imaging of the coronary arteries by computed tomography (CT). Multidetector-row CT (MDCT) scanners are equipped with thinner detectors and have a shorter rotation time, which enables considerably faster volume coverage with a thinner slice width during a single breath hold. The entire heart volume can be covered with ne...
متن کاملCoronary computed tomography angiography with 320-row detector and using the AIDR-3D: initial experience
Coronary computed tomography angiography (coronary CTA) is a powerful non-invasive imaging method to evaluate coronary artery disease. Nowadays, coronary CTA estimated effective radiation dose can be dramatically reduced using state-of-the-art scanners, such as 320-row detector CT (320-CT), without changing coronary CTA diagnostic accuracy. To optimize and further reduce the radiation dose, new...
متن کاملDiagnostic accuracy of 320-row multidetector computed tomography coronary angiography in the non-invasive evaluation of significant coronary artery disease.
AIMS Multidetector computed tomography coronary angiography (CTA) has emerged as a feasible imaging modality for non-invasive assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD). Recently, 320-row CTA systems were introduced, with 16 cm anatomical coverage, allowing image acquisition of the entire heart within a single heart beat. The aim of the present study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of 32...
متن کاملRadiation dose from single-heartbeat coronary CT angiography performed with a 320-detector row volume scanner.
PURPOSE To determine radiation doses from coronary computed tomographic (CT) angiography performed by using a 320-detector row volume scanner and evaluate how the effective dose depends on scan mode and the calculation method used. MATERIALS AND METHODS Radiation doses from coronary CT angiography performed by using a volume scanner were determined by using metal-oxide-semiconductor field-eff...
