Dual-source CT coronary angiographic evaluation of coronary artery fistulas
The aim of the present study was to retrospectively evaluate the incidence and morphological features of coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) detected by dual-source computed tomography coronary angiography (DS-CTCA). Between January 2011 and January 2013, 19,584 consecutive patients that had undergone electrocardiogram-triggering DS-CTCA were retrospectively reviewed. Image reconstructions were per...
متن کاملLow-dose dual-source CT angiography with iterative reconstruction for coronary artery stent evaluation.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the image quality and diagnostic accuracy of very low-dose, dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) angiography for the evaluation of coronary stents. BACKGROUND Iterative reconstruction (IR) leads to substantial reduction of image noise and hence permits the use of very low-dose data acquisition protocols in coronary computed tomography ang...
متن کاملMultislice CT Coronary Angiography in Evaluation of Coronary Artery Disease
The investigation and treatment of coronary disease impose a significant burden on health service resources. Catheter coronary angiography remains the gold standard for the investigation of suspected coronary disease. Given the invasive nature and high costs of invasive coronary angiography, there is an increased interest in noninvasive methods to image the lumen of the coronary arteries. Recen...
متن کاملAn evaluation of coronary artery plaque burden in asymptomatic type 2 diabetics using dual-source CT coronary angiography
Introduction Current International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines advocate investigation for coronary artery disease (CAD) in only those patients who have either typical/atypical cardiac symptoms or an abnormal resting ECG. As it is well established that diabetics with CAD may be asymptomatic, we hypothesised that a large proportion of asymptomatic ...
