Multislice computed tomography angiography in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease
Multislice CT angiography represents one of the most exciting technological revolutions in cardiac imaging and it has been increasingly used in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Rapid improvements in multislice CT scanners over the last decade have allowed this technique to become a potentially effective alternative to invasive coronary angiography in patients with suspected coronary ar...
متن کاملCoronary artery angiography using multislice computed tomography images.
Multislice CT scanners are the newest class of CT scanners and they have not one but many detectors. These scanners can acquire up to 4 slices of data from the body in the same time it takes a single-slice CT scanner to acquire one. Multislice CT allows for rapid cardiac imaging during a single breath-hold. A multislice scanner operated in helical mode provides information that can be used to r...
متن کاملValue of multislice computed tomography coronary angiography in suspected coronary artery disease.
e read with great interest the recent study by Pundziute et al. (1) nd congratulate the investigators for demonstrating the utility of ultislice computed tomography (MSCT) findings in predicting oronary artery disease (CAD) events. In all patients, a coronary rtery noncontrast scan was performed to determine coronary rtery calcification (CAC) scores followed by contrast-enhanced omputed tomogra...
