Natural history of coronary atherosclerosis by multislice computed tomography.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to analyze the natural history of coronary atherosclerosis by multislice computed tomography (MSCT) and assess the serial changes in coronary plaque burden, lumen dimensions, and arterial remodeling. BACKGROUND MSCT can comprehensively assess coronary atherosclerosis by combining lumen and plaque size parameters. METHODS Thirty-two patients with acute coronary s...
متن کاملImaging of coronary atherosclerosis by computed tomography.
Modern computed tomography (CT) systems afford sufficient spatial and temporal resolution for imaging of the heart and coronary arteries. The detection of coronary artery calcium (CAC) is relatively straightforward and it is applied to detect and quantify subclinical coronary atherosclerosis even in asymptomatic individuals. A large body of evidence has accumulated that uniformly attests to a h...
متن کاملVirtual coronary angioscopy using multislice computed tomography.
BACKGROUND With faster image acquisition times and thinner slice widths, multislice detector computed tomography (MSCT) allows visualisation of human coronary arteries with diagnostic image quality. In addition to conventional axial slices, virtual coronary angioscopies (VCA) can be reconstructed using MSCT datasets. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility of reconstructing VCA and to determine...
