Diagnosis of aortic valvular stenosis by multislice cardiac computed tomography.
AIMS Current improvements in spatial, temporal, and contrast resolution of multislice computed tomography (CT) could be useful in the assessment of valvular diseases. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of multislice CT for the identification and quantification of aortic valvular stenosis (AS), compared with echography. METHODS AND RESULTS Consecutive patients, referred for coronary CT, were...

متن کاملNoninvasive detection of coronary lesions using 16-detector multislice spiral computed tomography technology: initial clinical results.
OBJECTIVES The aim of our study was to evaluate the feasibility of detecting coronary artery lesions using a new computed tomography (CT) scanner with 16 detectors and faster gantry rotation. BACKGROUND Computed tomography angiography of the coronaries permits assessment of the coronaries; however, image quality is still impaired by motion artifacts and calcifications. METHODS Sixty patient...
متن کاملIncidental finding of a papillary fibroelastoma on the aortic valve in 16 slice multi-detector row computed tomography.
Papillary fibroelastoma (PFE) is a benign, rare, gelatinous tumour derived from the endocardium, primarily the cardiac valves, which is usually diagnosed by high resolution echocardiography. Although rarely clinically symptomatic, PFEs have a potential for coronary ischaemia, systemic embolisation with neurologic symptoms, and sometimes valvar dysfunction. There are reports of coronary occlusio...
متن کاملNoninvasive visualization of coronary artery bypass grafts using 16-detector row computed tomography.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a 16-detector row computed tomography (CT) scanner for the assessment of coronary artery bypass grafts. BACKGROUND A new generation of multislice spiral CT scanners, equipped with more and thinner detector rows, allows for reliable noninvasive detection of obstructive coronary artery disease. METHODS The study inclu...
