Recent Advances in PET-MR Hybrid contrast agent
Introduction: All of the Imaging modalities have advantages and disadvantages alone. So if we want to have the best and perfect image, combining these modalities produces something we desired. PET-MR images consist of morphologic and metabolic data. MRI and PET provide high spatial and contrast resolution and high sensitivity and molecular information respectively. Hybrid PET-...

متن کاملCoronary Artery Calcium Quantification in Contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography Angiography
Coronary arteries are the blood vessels supplying oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscles. Coronary artery calcium (CAC), which is the total amount of calcium deposited in these arteries, indicates the presence or the future risk of coronary artery diseases. Quantification of CAC is done by using computed tomography (CT) scan which uses attenuation of xray by different tissues in the body to gen...
متن کاملSafe limits of contrast vary with hydration volume for prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy after coronary angiography among patients with a relatively low risk of contrast-induced nephropathy.
BACKGROUND Few studies have investigated the safe limits of contrast to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) based on hydration data. We aimed to investigate the relative safe maximum contrast volume adjusted for hydration volume in a population with a relatively low risk of CIN. METHODS AND RESULTS The ratios of contrast volume-to-creatinine clearance (V/CrCl) and hydration volume to b...
متن کاملTriphasic Contrast Agent Injection in 64-MDCT Coronary Artery Angiography
Purpose: To evaluate image quality and cardiovascular enhancement after triphasic injection in 64-slice-CT coronary angiography (c-CTA). Methods: c-CTA of twenty-two asymptomatic patients following triphasic injection (65ml-contrast bolus + mixed 30mlcontrast and 20ml-saline bolus + 50ml-saline chaser) were retrospectively reviewed. Attenuation in the great vessels, cardiac chambers, and corona...
