Imaging of central airway stenting with multidetector computed tomography

Imaging of central airway stenting with multidetector computed tomography

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) provides guidance for primary screening of the central airways. The aim of our study was assessing the contribution of multidetector computed tomography- two dimensional reconstruction in the management of patients with tracheobronchial stenosis prior to the procedure and during a short follow up period of 3 months after the endo...

Noncardiac findings in cardiac imaging with multidetector computed tomography.

OBJECTIVES We investigated the frequency of the noncardiac findings in cardiac imaging with multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). BACKGROUND Multidetector computed tomography is an accepted new tool to evaluate the heart. In cardiac MDCT scans, organs other than the heart are also irradiated, but usually not assessed. METHODS A total of 503 patients underwent cardiac imaging with 16- or...

Imaging of intracoronary thrombus by multidetector helical computed tomography angiography.

An 83-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with a 2-hour history of sudden chest pain and dyspnea. An initial ECG demonstrated nonspecific ST changes, and a portable chest x-ray suggested a widened mediastinum. A thoracic multidetector helical computed tomography (CT) angiogram was obtained to assess the possibility of aortic dissection (GE LightSpeed Plus, 2.5-mm collimation wi...

Multidetector Computed Tomography in Cerebrovascular Disease: CT Perfusion Imaging

Multidetector Computed Tomography in Cerebrovascular Disease: CT Perfusion Imaging, edited by Drs. Miles, Eastwood, and Konig, is a detailed technical monograph that does for CT perfusion imaging (CTP) what Cerebral MR Perfusion Imaging: Principles and Current Applications (book and CD-ROM), by Sorensen and Reimer (Thieme: Stuttgart/New York, 2000), did for MR perfusion imaging (MRP). The inten...
