Application of 64-slice spiral computed tomography angiography in extremity vascular injuries.

Application of 64-slice spiral computed tomography angiography in a follow-up evaluation after coronary stent implantation: A Chinese clinical study

Background: This study assessed the application value of 64-slice spiral computed tomography angiography (CTA) in a follow-up evaluation of patients receiving coronary stent implantation. Materials and Methods: A total of 468 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at our hospital between January 2013 and October 2016 were selected for this study. Coronary angiography an...

Application of the 64-slice computed tomography as a diagnostic method in acute posttraumatic ischaemia of the upper limbs – 3 case reports

BACKGROUND Acute limb ischaemia' is a sudden, rapidly progressing inhibition of blood supply to a limb, characterised by appearance of new symptoms or by aggravation of the already existing ones, which may lead to amputation of the limb. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) performed with a multislice scanner belongs to methods used for arterial imaging in acute limb ischaemia. The main advant...

Comparison of Image Quality of Low Voltage 64-slice Multidetector CT Angiography with the Standard Condition in Patients Suspected of Pulmonary Embolism

Introduction: Reduction of peak kilovoltage (kV) setting has been a useful approach to d creating radiation dose; however, it may have varied effects on noise and the accuracy of diagnosis. Thus, we compared image quality between low (80 kV) and standard kilovoltage (100 kV) protocols. Material and Methods: This triple blind non-randomized parallel quasi-experimental study was conducted on 140 ...

64-Slice Cardiovascular CT Angiography: A Clinical Accuracy Evaluation

Impact of calcification on diagnostic accuracy of 64-slice spiral computed tomography for detecting coronary artery disease: a single center experience.

BACKGROUND The main aim of our study was to investigate the influence of calcification on the accuracy of 64-slice computed tomography for identification of significant coronary artery disease. METHODS A contrast-enhanced 64-slice computed tomography was performed prior to invasive coronary angiography in 168 consecutive patients with suspected coronary artery disease. All coronary segments 1...
