Anatomical Evaluation of Renal Arteries and Veins in Kidney Donors by CT Angiography
Abstract Background: Renal transplantation (RT) is the transplantation of a kidney into a patient with end-stage renal disease and has become the treatment of choice for most patients with end-stage renal disease. The knowledge of renal vascular variations is of a great importance for the surgeons who approach the kidneys from the retroperitoneal o...
متن کاملEfficient Detection of Native and Bypass Coronary Ostia in Cardiac CT Volumes: Anatomical vs. Pathological Structures
Cardiac computed tomography (CT) is the primary noninvasive imaging modality to diagnose coronary artery disease. Though various methods have been proposed for coronary artery segmentation, most rely on at least one user click to provide a seed point for initialization. Automatic detection of the coronary ostia (where coronaries originate from the aorta), including both the native coronary osti...
متن کاملClinical applications of cardiac CT angiography
ECG-gated multislice CT provides a cost-effective, non-invasive technology for evaluation of the coronary arteries, as well as for additional clinical applications, which require morphological assessment of the heart and adjacent structures with simultaneous evaluation of the coronary circulation.The excellent negative predictive value of a normal coronary CTA (cCTA) examination excludes the pr...
متن کاملCardiac CT Angiography in Congestive Heart Failure.
Cardiac CT angiography has become an important tool for the diagnosis and treatment of congestive heart failure. Differentiation of ischemic from nonischemic cardiomyopathy; evaluation of myocardial perfusion; characterization of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, left ventricular noncompaction, and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia; and delineation of congenital heart defects and valvular a...
متن کاملCardiac neoplasms and pseudotumors: imaging findings on multidetector CT angiography.
A wide spectrum of masses can affect the heart, ranging from non-malignant entities, such as thrombi, to aggressive primary cardiac tumors, such as angiosarcomas. Echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging have traditionally formed the mainstay techniques for assessing these lesions. Recent technological advances have seen ECG-gated multi-detector computed tomography (M...
