Role of MSCT (multi-slice computed tomography) in acute abdomen using 64-slice technology

Ground-glass opacity: high-resolution computed tomography and 64-multi-slice computed tomography findings comparison.

OBJECTIVE Comparative evaluation of ground-glass opacity using conventional high-resolution computed tomography technique and volumetric computed tomography by 64-row multi-slice scanner, verifying advantage of volumetric acquisition and post-processing technique allowed by 64-row CT scanner. METHODS Thirty-four patients, in which was assessed ground-glass opacity pattern by previous high-res...

64-slice peripheral computed tomography angiography: a clinical accuracy evaluation.

Accuracy of MSCT coronary angiography with 64-slice technology: first experience.

AIMS The aim of our study was to investigate the accuracy of 64-slice computed tomography (CT) for assessing haemodynamically significant stenoses of coronary arteries. METHODS AND RESULTS CT angiography was performed in 67 patients (50 male, 17 female; mean age 60.1+/-10.5 years) with suspected coronary artery disease and compared with invasive coronary angiography. All vessels > or =1.5 mm ...

Assessment of a left coronary artery aneurysm with 64-channel multi-slice cardiac computed tomography.

A 64-slice computed tomography (CT)—coronary angio-graphy depicted a saccular aneurysm of the left coronary artery located at the bifurcation of the left main into the left anterior descending artery and the left circumflex artery (Fig. 1A). Coronary angiography confirmed the diagnosis (Fig. 1B). The LAD and CX themselves originated directly from the neck of the aneurysm (Fig. 2A and B). Fig. 1...

The Role of 64/128-Slice Multidetector Computed Tomography to Assess the Progression of Coronary Atherosclerosis

OBJECTIVES We studied the progression of coronary atherosclerosis over time as detected by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in relation to risk factors and plaque composition. BACKGROUND Studies using MDCT are limited to the assessment of the degree of stenosis without taking into consideration the plaque composition that is seen by MDCT. METHODS This study included 200 patients, co...
