Multidetector computed tomography in acute joint fractures.

Conventional radiography plays an essential diagnostic role in the primary evaluation of acute joint trauma. In complex fractures, however, computed tomography (CT) is an imaging modality often used second to radiography. As a result of technical breakthroughs in the field, multidetector CT (MDCT) allows faster imaging and better temporal, spatial, and contrast resolution compared with conventi...

Multidetector computed tomography for acute pulmonary embolism.

BACKGROUND The accuracy of multidetector computed tomographic angiography (CTA) for the diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism has not been determined conclusively. METHODS The Prospective Investigation of Pulmonary Embolism Diagnosis II trial was a prospective, multicenter investigation of the accuracy of multidetector CTA alone and combined with venous-phase imaging (CTA-CTV) for the diagnos...

Clinical valve of myocardial contrast delayed enhancement with multidetector computed tomography.

We read with great interest the article by Sato et al. (1) that valuated the prognostic value of myocardial contrast delayed nhancement with 64-slice multidetector computed tomography MDCT) after acute myocardial infarction. They should be ommended for conducting the study elegantly. However, a few nteresting points arise from the analysis that we believe may be ertinent and should be answered....
