Morphologic Characterization of Atherosclerotic Plaque of Coronary Arteries Diseases by Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT)

نویسندگان

چکیده

A multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT) image is being considered as a possible alternative to current imaging methods for evaluating vessel anatomy and morphology of atherosclerotic plaques in variety arterial beds. It evaluate the entire vasculature using MDCT. Furthermore, MDCT capable visualizing wall quantifying calcified noncalcified plaques. In total, 72 patients (56.9% male 43.1% female) with consecutive ages ranging fro

Characterization of coronary atherosclerotic plaques by multidetector computed tomography.

Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) provides 3-dimensional noninvasive visualization of the coronary arterial tree. We compared MDCT with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for assessment of severity of coronary artery stenosis and composition of atherosclerotic plaques in 40 patients (32 men; mean age 52 years, range 33 to 86) with documented coronary artery disease. Cross-sectional images o...

Characterization of atherosclerotic plaque: a contrast‐detail study using multidetector and cone‐beam computed tomography

A Hindmarsh-Rose model perceptibility phantom containing inserts with various in vitro atherosclerotic plaque compositions was constructed and imaged on a clinical 64 slice multidetector (MDCT) system using 80 and 120 kVp settings and two other cone-beam (CBCT) systems at 80 kVp. Perceptibility of the simulated lipid-fibrotic plaque solutions in the images was evaluated by six observers. The ef...

Assessment of coronary remodeling in stenotic and nonstenotic coronary atherosclerotic lesions by multidetector spiral computed tomography.

OBJECTIVES This study was designed to investigate whether contrast-enhanced multidetector spiral CT (MDCT) permits assessment of remodeling in coronary atherosclerotic lesions. BACKGROUND With sufficient image quality, MDCT permits noninvasive visualization of the coronary arteries, but its ability to assess remodeling has not been evaluated. METHODS Out of 102 patients in whom MDCT (16-sli...

Coronary plaque stabilization followed by Color Code Plaque analysis with 64-slice multidetector row computed tomography.

A 61-year-old woman with hypercholesterolemia, hypertension and diabetes mellitus was referred to hospital for the evaluation of chest pain at rest. Eccentric 50% stenosis in the proximal right coronary artery was detected by 64-slice multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT). The plaque morphology was considered as soft by Color Code Plaque (CCP) analysis. Seven days after MDCT, chest pain ...

Coronary Artery Disease in an Asymptomatic Population Undergoing a Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) Coronary Angiography

AIM To assess the prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in asymptomatic subjects using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and its relationships to demographic and clinical risk factors. MATERIAL AND METHOD We enrolled consecutive asymptomatic volunteers with no evidence of ischemic heart disease that underwent MDCT for the early detection of CAD. All MDCT findings were correlated ...
