Noninvasive visualization of the cardiac venous system using multislice computed tomography.
OBJECTIVES We sought to evaluate the value of multislice computed tomography (MSCT) to depict the cardiac venous anatomy. BACKGROUND During cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT), left ventricular (LV) pacing is established by a pacemaker lead in a tributary of the coronary sinus (CS). Knowledge of the CS anatomy and variations may facilitate the implantation of LV leads. METHODS The MSCT ...
متن کاملNoninvasive coronary angiography with multislice computed tomography.
CONTEXT Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) has recently evolved as a modality for noninvasive coronary imaging. OBJECTIVE To assess the accuracy and robustness of MSCT vs the criterion standard of invasive coronary angiography for detection of obstructive coronary artery disease. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS Prospective, single-center study conducted in a referral center setting in Germ...
متن کاملCardiac applications of multislice computed tomography.
Netherlands Multislice CT (MSCT) is gaining clinical acceptance for cardiac imaging owing to improved temporal and spatial resolution of the latest 16-slice and 64-slice technology. Although the cardiac MSCT applications are promising, there is still room for further technical improvements and optimization of post-processing techniques for cardiac evaluation. Interestingly, the data acquired fo...
متن کاملMultislice Spiral Computed Tomography in Cardiac Imaging
Objective: Multislice computed tomography is an emerging technology with the potential for non-invasive coronary investigation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and limitations of multislice computed tomography in the detection of coronary artery disease. Patients and Methods: Multislice computed tomography was performed in symptomatic patients with atypical chest pain and ...
متن کاملNoninvasive coronary artery imaging by multislice spiral computed tomography.
Although the excellent spatial resolution of multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) enables the coronary arteries to be visualized, its limited temporal resolution results in poor image reproducibility because of cardiac motion artifact (CMA) and hence limits its widespread clinical use. A novel retrospectively ECG-gated reconstruction method has been developed to minimize CMA. In 88 cons...
