[Incidental cardiac findings on cardiac CT with prognostic impact].
A utilidade da angioTC cardíaca na avaliação da anatomia coronária está amplamente aceite1. No entanto, esta técnica de imagem permite a visualização, com cada vezmelhor definição, das outras estruturas cardíacas. Assim, é relativamente frequente encontrarem-se imagens que constituem achados. Os autores apresentam 3 casos clínicos de achados intracardíacos, aquando da realização de uma angioTC ...
متن کاملNon-coronary findings in cardiac CT
Gated multi-detector CT (MDCT) is now recognised as an excellent and robust application for non-invasive assessment of coronary arteries, and in many centres is routinely used. Some studies have shown that MDCT scanners with 64-detector row have a 99% negative predictive value for the detection of coronary artery stenosis. MDCT images obtained with ECG gating are superior to the standard (non-E...
متن کاملIncidental extra-cardiac findings on clinical CMR.
AIMS Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging benefits from a large field of view, but consequently captures incidental extra-cardiac findings (IEFs). There is a relative paucity of data for CMR in this regard. Our objectives were to assess the frequency and significance of IEFs reported from clinically indicated CMR scans, and additionally to ascertain if reporting rates differed between radio...
متن کاملThe Prevalence of Incidental Findings at Cardiac MRI
UNLABELLED OBJECT OR PURPOSE OF STUDY: As the field of view of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) includes the thorax and upper abdomen, it is not surprising that these studies can reveal incidental extra-cardiac abnormalities. The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of these incidental findings. MATERIALS, METHODS AND PROCEDURES 132 volunteer participants with a mean a...
متن کاملFindings of the F-FDG PET-CT in a cardiac angiosarcoma complicated by a cardiac rupture
Primary malignant tumors of the heart are a rare condition. The most common type is the cardiac angiosarcoma. The symptoms of this disease are very nonspecific and can be very difficult to diagnose by conventional imaging techniques. We report the case of a male patient with cardiac angiosarcoma who also had a rare complication, this being cardiac rupture, which required the use of F-FDG PET-CT...
