Evaluation of hydronephrotic kidney parenchymal density by non-contrast multislice computed tomography

Evaluation of Coronary Venous Anatomy by Multislice Computed Tomography

Background: The coronary venous system is increasingly targeted for pacing in patients with severe heart failure. The recent advancement of Multi-Detector Computed Tomography (MDCT) allows accurate analysis of the coronary arteries, but little data exist on its role in assessing cardiac venous anatomy. The aim of the present study was to investigate the feasibility of using MDCT in evaluating t...

Bone density: comparative evaluation of Hounsfield units in multislice and cone-beam computed tomography.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of the bone density value of potential implant sites in HU obtained by a specific cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) device. In this study, the HU values obtained using a MSCT scanner were used as the gold standard. Twenty mandibles (40 potential implant sites) were scanned using an MSCT scanner (Somatom Sensation 40) and a CBCT scanner (i-CA...

Detection of coronary artery stenoses by contrast-enhanced, retrospectively electrocardiographically-gated, multislice spiral computed tomography.

BACKGROUND Multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) with retrospectively ECG-gated image reconstruction permits coronary artery visualization. We investigated the method's ability to identify high-grade coronary artery stenoses and occlusions. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 64 consecutive patients were studied by MSCT (4x1 mm cross-sections, 500-ms rotation, table feed 1.5 mm/rotation, in...
