Dynamic myocardial perfusion imaging by dual-source computed tomography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a dual-source computed tomography study of dynamic and quantitative myocardial perfusion in a 44-year-old patient with previous documented coronary artery disease. Quantitatively, the tomography showed myocardial perfusion deficit in the territories with significant coronary stenosis, confirmed by computed tomography angiography and conventional angiography. Dual-source computed tomography allowed dynamic perfusion and anatomic evaluation in a single study during the follow-up of this patient.

Introduction: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is considered to be the single most important prognostic factor in patients with previous myocardial infarction. LVEF is not improved in all patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study aimed to assess the possibility of prediction of LVEF changes after CABG using myocardial perfusion gated signle photon emission compu...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to describe a protocol for myocardial perfusion imaging using dipyridamole stress, with 128-slice dual-source computed tomography (CT), and to assess the ability of CT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) to detect abnormal flow reserve and infarction in comparison with nuclear MPI (NMPI). BACKGROUND CT MPI has not been previously described with the 128-slice dual-s...

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) has been shown a non-invasive tool with high diagnostic accuracy for the detection of coronary arterial stenosis [1]. However, the hemodynamic significance of many lesions is uncertain by Cardiac CT. Furthermore, the presence of calcified atherosclerotic plaque reduces the ability to differentiate significant stenosis from non-obstructive plaque. Thus, invasive ...
