Nonlinear registration of serial coronary CT angiography (CCTA) for assessment of changes in atherosclerotic plaque.
PURPOSE Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) is a high-resolution three-dimensional imaging technique for the evaluation of coronary arteries in suspected or confirmed coronary artery disease (CAD). Coregistration of serial CCTA scans would allow precise superimposition of images obtained at two different points in time, which could aid in recognition of subtle changes and precise monitoring of coron...
متن کاملCarotid stenosis index revisited with direct CT angiography measurement of carotid arteries to quantify carotid stenosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE All carotid stenosis ratio methods are based on the inability of digital subtraction angiography to measure in millimeters. Each method has potential flaws. The Carotid Stenosis Index (CSI) was designed to reduce ambiguities of NASCET and ECST ratios. We test this method's ability to correctly estimate carotid stenosis using direct computed tomography angiography millimet...
متن کاملQuantitative Analysis of Coronary Vessels with Optimized Intracoronary CT Number
BACKGROUND Variability in intracoronary computed tomography (CT) number may influence vessel quantification. We confirmed the feasibility of a novel method for measuring vessel diameter and area using coronary CT angiography (CCTA) with an optimized intracoronary CT number, 350 HU. METHODS We performed intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging in 52 patients with significant stenosis detected b...
متن کاملCoronary CT Angiography Findings in Patients with Ambiguous Left Main Coronary Artery Disease
Left main coronary artery (LMCA) stenosis is a high risk subset of coronary artery disease; however, its occurrence may be misjudged by coronary angiography. Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) was performed on 5 patients with clinically highly suspicious and angiographically borderline LMCA disease (ostial: 3 patients, mid: 1 patient and distal: 1 patient). A cross-sectional CCTA image was used to ...
