Clinical applications of virtual, non-contrast head images derived from dual-source, dual-energy cerebrovascular computed tomography angiography

Background: This study set out to evaluate the utility of cerebrovascular virtual non-contrast (VNC) scans. Materials and Methods: Conventional non-contrast (CNC) and dual-energy computed tomography angiography (DE-CTA) head scans were conducted on 100 subjects, of which 46 were normal, 15 had parenchymal hematomas of the brain, 13 had ischemic infarction, 22 had tumors, and 4 had calcified les...

Monte Carlo Study of the Effect of Backscatter Materail Thickness on 99mTc Source Response in Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography

Introduction SPECT projections are contaminated by scatter radiation, resulting in reduced image contrast and quantitative errors. Backscatter constitutes a major part of the scatter contamination in lower energy windows. The current study is an evaluation of the effect of backscatter material on FWHM and image quality investigated by Monte Carlo simulation. Materials and Methods SIMIND program...

Diagnosis of Thin-Capped Fibroatheromas in Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography Images

Plaque rupture is responsible for up to 75% of acute coronary syndromes and is an important mechanism for atherosclerotic disease progression. Plaque rupture is most often preceded by the development of a thin-capped fibroatheroma (TCFA), the most common type of vulnerable plaque. Intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) is the only coronary imaging modality available clinically that ...

Comparison of dual-source computed tomography (CT) dual-energy angiography with conventional 3D imaging towards caudomedial vessels

We aim to analyse the time consumption, image quality and efficacies of dual-source Computed Tomography (CT) Dual-Energy Angiography (DE-CTA) in diagnosing vascular stenosis. The medical records of 35 patients with clinically suspected caudomedial vascular diseases were performed DE-CTA. The residual bone images obtained in DE-CTA and conventional 3D software were compared, as well as the sensi...
