Abstract Introduction Aortic valve calcification (AVC) is linked to higher gradients and worse prognosis in aortic stenosis. Current guidelines recommend calcium scoring of the as additional factor for decision making low-flow, low-gradient Calcium Scoring performed by native computed tomography (CT). For planning interventional replacement (TAVR) a second scan with contrast agent (CECT) needed...

Abstract While atom probe tomography (APT) offers 3D spatially-resolved compositional characterization at the nanometer scale, individual inspection of large datasets is time demanding and interpretation thereof highly operator-dependent. Recently, decomposition behavior (V,Al)N thin films was investigated by APT. The conventional analysis, employing standard tools from commercial software, lab...

Purpose: This paper aims to realize an analysis of available radio-imaging methods for outlining various forms of pulmonary embolism (acute or chronic) with highlights on the semiology and adequate medical indications. Methods: There are several types of radiological examinations used in the evaluation of pulmonary embolism such as perfusion scintigraphy V/Q, digital subtraction angiography, co...
