[Optimal timing of contrast enhancement in coronary CT angiography using the Bolus-tracking method].
Negative product value for coronary artery disease is 98% to 99%. Therefore, the number of unnecessary cardiac catheterization procedures is reduced as the usefulness of CT systems for examination of the coronary arteries improves. In the bolus-tracking method, in which an ROI is placed in the ascending aorta to trigger scanning, scanning may not be performed at the optimal time of contrast enh...
متن کاملBolus chasing computed tomography angiography using local maximum tracking method
Tracking bolus peak position is a crucial issue for computed tomography angiography(CTA). In this paper, a local maximum tracking method is proposed and tested using real patient data. The method uses a second order polynomial to approximate bolus density function locally. By estimating the local maximum density position at next sampling time, bolus peak trajectory is closely followed. Experime...
متن کاملUsefulness of nanoparticles to making shield and protection of sensitive organs in chest CT scan test
Introduction: Recently, the use of nanoparticles has increased for many purpose in medicine. One of these is using the nano particles in shields structure to protect sensitive organs such as breast which placed inside the field of chest CT scan and receives high dose. The aim of this study was the use of nano Bi2O3 to making shield for protection breast in chest CT examination ...
متن کاملThe comparison of bolus tracking and test bolus techniques for computed tomography thoracic angiography in healthy beagles.
Computed tomography thoracic angiography studies were performed on five adult beagles using the bolus tracking (BT) technique and the test bolus (TB) technique, which were performed at least two weeks apart. For the BT technique, 2 mL/kg of 300 mgI/mL iodinated contrast agent was injected intravenously. Scans were initiated when the contrast in the aorta reached 150 Hounsfield units (HU). For t...
متن کاملA retrospective comparison of smart prep and test bolus multi-detector CT pulmonary angiography protocols
INTRODUCTION Optimal arterial opacification is crucial in imaging the pulmonary arteries using computed tomography (CT). This poses the challenge of precisely timing data acquisition to coincide with the transit of the contrast bolus through the pulmonary vasculature. The aim of this quality assurance exercise was to investigate if a change in CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) scanning protocol r...
