Prospective-triggered high-pitch spiral versus sequential dual-source CT coronary angiography: comparison of image quality and radiation dose
Background: Prospectively electrocardiography (ECG)-triggered high-pitch spiral coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a unique scan mode for dual-source CT (DSCT). Our reports aim to compare image quality and radiation dose of CCTA using high-pitch spiral or sequential acquisition mode in patients with low and stable heart rates. Materials and Methods: Patients with low and stable ...
متن کاملVirtual Non-Contrast CT Using Dual-Energy Spectral CT: Feasibility of Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility of coronary artery calcium scoring based on three virtual noncontrast-enhanced (VNC) images derived from single-source spectral dual-energy CT (DECT) as compared with true noncontrast-enhanced (TNC) images. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study was conducted with the approval of our Institutional Review Board. Ninety-seven patients underwent noncon...
متن کاملDetector-based spectral CT with a novel dual-layer technology: principles and applications
Detector-based spectral computed tomography is a novel dual-energy CT technology that employs two layers of detectors to simultaneously collect low- and high-energy data in all patients using standard CT protocols. In addition to the conventional polyenergetic images created for each patient, projection-space decomposition is used to generate spectral basis images (photoelectric and Compton sca...
متن کاملPrognostic value of coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) allows increasingly reliable visualization of the coronary arteries. Over the past two years, several relevant scientific studies on the clinical utility and prognostic value of CT angiography have been published, and this review will provide a summary of the currently available data.
متن کاملAssessment of quantification accuracy and image quality of a full‐body dual‐layer spectral CT system
The performance of a recently introduced spectral computed tomography system based on a dual-layer detector has been investigated. A semi-anthropomorphic abdomen phantom for CT performance evaluation was imaged on the dual-layer spectral CT at different radiation exposure levels (CTDIvol of 10 mGy, 20 mGy and 30 mGy). The phantom was equipped with specific low-contrast and tissue-equivalent ins...
