Virtual coronary angioscopy using multislice computed tomography.
BACKGROUND With faster image acquisition times and thinner slice widths, multislice detector computed tomography (MSCT) allows visualisation of human coronary arteries with diagnostic image quality. In addition to conventional axial slices, virtual coronary angioscopies (VCA) can be reconstructed using MSCT datasets. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility of reconstructing VCA and to determine...

متن کاملComputed Tomography of Aortic Wall Calcifications in Aortic Dissection Patients
OBJECTIVES To investigate the frequency of aortic calcifications at the outer edge of the false lumen and the frequency of fully circular aortic calcifications in a consecutive series of patients with aortic dissection who underwent contrast-enhanced CT. METHODS The study population compromised of 69 consecutive subjects aged 60 years and older with a contrast-enhanced CT scan demonstrating a...
متن کاملComputed tomography: the investigation of choice for aortic dissection?
Computed tomography has become established as complementary to aortography in the investigation of patients with suspected aortic dissection. Two cases of dissecting aneurysm are reported in which extensive aortography failed to show evidence of dissection. In both cases dissection was demonstrated by computed tomography. The diagnosis was confirmed in one case at operation and in the other cas...
متن کاملResolution of iatrogenic aortic dissection illustrated by computed tomography.
An 83-year-old man with known history of known coronary artery disease (prior coronary artery bypass surgery and percutaneous coronary intervention), hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia presented with ongoing exertional angina and dyspnea despite medical therapy. A dipyridamole rubidium-82 stress test showed moderate-sized ischemia in the inferior and inferolateral territory. An echocardiogr...
