Comparison of position, morphology and calcification of Coronary Plaque with 320-row dynamic volume CT (DVCT) and coronary angiography (CAG)
OBJECTIVE The judgment of coronary stenosis by 320-row dynamic volume CT (DVCT) and coronary angiography (CAG) is not entirely consistent. We compared them in this study. METHODS We studied 92 patients (265 lesions) with CAG and DVCT. According to the degree of matching in stenosis judgment, all lesions were divided into consistent group and inconsistent group. The position of lesions, the de...
متن کاملTotal coronary artery plaque burden measured by cardiac computed tomography is associated with metabolic syndrome.
AIM Increased coronary plaque burden, which could be involved in the pathogenesis of atherothrombotic events, is difficult to evaluate in the three major coronary arteries. The purpose of this study was to quantify coronary plaque volume using 64-slice computed tomography (CT). METHODS We measured coronary plaque volume with our new protocol in 23 consecutive patients (48% men; 66 ± 11 years ...
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...
متن کاملComparison of capability of abdominal 320-detector row CT and of 16-detector row CT for small vasculature assessment.
The purpose of our study was to compare the capability of the 320-detector row CT (area-detector CT: ADCT) using the step-and-shoot scan protocol for small abdominal vasculature assessment with that of the 16-detector row CT using the helical scan protocol. Contrast-enhanced abdominal CT for preoperative assessment was administered to 25 patients, 18 of whom, suspected of having lung cancer, un...
متن کاملAssociation between serum uric acid and the characteristics of coronary plaque burden: assessment with coronary CT angiography
Objective: It is controversial whether serum uric acid (UA) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between the serum UA level and coronary plaque burden characteristics evaluated by coronary CT angiography (CCTA). Methods: In total, 1315 patients who underwent CCTA were divided into the hyperuricemia group and no...
