Multidetector-Row Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography
onsiderable progress has recently been achieved in the field of noninvasive imaging of the coronary arteries by computed tomography (CT). Multidetector-row CT (MDCT) scanners are equipped with thinner detectors and have a shorter rotation time, which enables considerably faster volume coverage with a thinner slice width during a single breath hold. The entire heart volume can be covered with ne...
متن کاملSex Estimation From Sternal Measurements Using Multidetector Computed Tomography
We aimed to show the utility and reliability of sternal morphometric analysis for sex estimation.Sex estimation is a very important step in forensic identification. Skeletal surveys are main methods for sex estimation studies. Morphometric analysis of sternum may provide high accuracy rated data in sex discrimination. In this study, morphometric analysis of sternum was evaluated in 1 mm chest c...
متن کاملIntrathoracic Fat Measurements Using Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT): Feasibility and Reproducibility.
Intrathoracic fat volume, more specifically, epicardial fat volume, is an emerging imaging biomarker of adverse cardiovascular events. The purpose of this work is to show the feasibility and reproducibility of intrathoracic fat volume measurement applied to contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography images. A retrospective cohort study of 62 subjects free of cardiovascular disease (55%...
متن کاملcurrent applications of coronary and cardiac multidetector computed tomography
cardiovascular disease remains the principal cause of death in the modernized world. several novel noninvasive imaging techniques have been recently developed to improve diagnosis of cardiac and coronary disease. of these advances, multidetector computed tomographic (mdct) angiography has evolved most dramatically to transform computed tomography from a single-slice trans-axial modality to ...
متن کاملCalcium concentration of individual coronary calcified plaques as measured by multidetector row computed tomography.
BACKGROUND Characteristics of individual calcified plaques, especially calcium concentration (CC), may provide incremental value to global calcium scores in the assessment of plaque burden and risk of coronary events and evaluation of therapeutic intervention. In this study, therefore, we assessed the characteristics of individual calcified plaques and their relationship to other parameters der...
