Radiation exposure for coronary artery calcium score at prospective 320 row multi - detector computed tomography
Purpose: To date there is extensive data on the radiation dose for assessing coronary artery calcium scores (CACS) with 4-64 row multidetector MDCT. However with the advent of 320 row MDCT, the entire heart can be imaged in one beat and thus potentially reduce the radiation dose. The aim of this study was to evaluate radiation dose for CACS on low-dose prospective EKG-triggered 320 row MDCT. Ma...
متن کاملEvaluation of coronary allograft vasculopathy using multi-detector row computed tomography: a systematic review.
Coronary allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality after cardiac transplantation and requires frequent surveillance with catheter-based coronary angiography (CCA). Multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT) has been shown to be effective in assessing atherosclerosis in native coronary arteries. This article systematically reviews the literature to determi...
متن کاملLimitations of Airway Dimension Measurement on Images Obtained Using Multi-Detector Row Computed Tomography
OBJECTIVES (a) To assess the effects of computed tomography (CT) scanners, scanning conditions, airway size, and phantom composition on airway dimension measurement and (b) to investigate the limitations of accurate quantitative assessment of small airways using CT images. METHODS An airway phantom, which was constructed using various types of material and with various tube sizes, was scanned...

متن کاملCoronary artery aneurysm with thrombus evaluated by multi-detector row computed tomography.
This is a case report of a 60-year-old woman with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who had coronary aneurysms and thrombus in the right coronary artery detected by multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT). In this case, MDCT was useful for clarifying the thrombus complicated with coronary aneurysms, which was considered to be the cause of AMI. Thus, warfarin was started as an anticoagulan...
