Multidetector row computed tomography: imaging congenital coronary artery anomalies in adults.
The quality of the imaging of the main coronary arteries and side branches provided by multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT) may have importance when assessing congenital coronary artery anomalies. This review discusses the rationale for using MDCT for this indication and examines the advantages and disadvantages of the technique. Examples of MDCT imaging of congenital coronary artery an...
متن کاملDepiction of celiac ganglia on positron emission tomography and computed tomography in patients with lung cancer.
OBJECTIVE To differentiate imaging characteristics of celiac ganglia from metastatic lesion on positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) in patients with lung cancer and correlate these findings to postmortem multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT). METHODS One hundred twenty-nine patients were included. Imaging characteristics and fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) avidity of the ...
متن کاملLung Lobar Segmentation Using Tubular Tissue Density from Multidetector-row Ct Images
In evaluating thoracic function, it is effective to segment the five lung lobes from multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) images. Almost all of the conventional methods are based on extracting the lobar fissures; however, some parts of the fissures may not be observed from MDCT images due to CT artifacts and/or adhesions between the lung lobes. This article proposes an alternative metho...
متن کاملRole of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography in diagnosis and management of pancreatic cancer; comparison with multidetector row computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and endoscopic ultrasonography.
OBJECTIVES We aimed to analyze the contribution of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) imaging to the diagnosis and management of pancreatic cancer compared with multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS). MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively scanned the data of 52 pa...
متن کاملImaging in local staging of gastric cancer: a systematic review.
PURPOSE Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has been established as the diagnostic modality of choice in local (T) staging of gastric cancer. Multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are promising alternatives. The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature regarding the performance of each of these imaging modalities. METHODS A systematic s...
