Low dose time-resolved CT-angiography in pediatric patients with venous malformations using 3rd generation dual-source CT: Initial experience
OBJECTIVES To prospectively evaluate the diagnostic value and radiation dose of time-resolved CT-Angiography (4D-CTA) in pediatric patients with venous malformations using 3rd generation dual-source CT (DSCT) at 70 kVp tube voltage. METHODS Between November 2014 and August 2015, seven children (2 male, 5 female; median age, 9 years; range 3-12 years) with suspected peripheral, non-cerebral, v...
متن کاملDual-source CT in step-and-shoot mode: noninvasive coronary angiography with low radiation dose.
PURPOSE To prospectively investigate computed tomographic (CT) image quality parameters by using different protocols and to calculate radiation dose estimates for noninvasive coronary angiography performed with dual-source CT in the step-and-shoot (SAS) mode. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was local ethics board approved; written informed consent was obtained from all patients. In the preli...
متن کاملLow-dose dual-source CT angiography with iterative reconstruction for coronary artery stent evaluation.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the image quality and diagnostic accuracy of very low-dose, dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) angiography for the evaluation of coronary stents. BACKGROUND Iterative reconstruction (IR) leads to substantial reduction of image noise and hence permits the use of very low-dose data acquisition protocols in coronary computed tomography ang...
متن کاملProspective-triggered high-pitch spiral versus sequential dual-source CT coronary angiography: comparison of image quality and radiation dose
Background: Prospectively electrocardiography (ECG)-triggered high-pitch spiral coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a unique scan mode for dual-source CT (DSCT). Our reports aim to compare image quality and radiation dose of CCTA using high-pitch spiral or sequential acquisition mode in patients with low and stable heart rates. Materials and Methods: Patients with low and stable ...
متن کاملDetection of Airway Anomalies in Pediatric Patients with Cardiovascular Anomalies with Low Dose Prospective ECG-Gated Dual-Source CT
OBJECTIVES To assess the feasibility of low-dose prospective ECG-gated dual-source CT (DSCT) in detecting airway anomalies in pediatric patients with cardiovascular anomalies compared with flexible tracheobronchoscopy (FTB). METHODS 33 pediatrics with respiratory symptoms who had been revealed cardiovascular anomalies by transthoracic echocardiography underwent FTB and contrast material-enhan...
