Images in cardiovascular medicine. Ruptured plaque visualization by noninvasive coronary computed tomography angiography.
A 69-year-old man presented with 2 weeks of exertional chest pressure typical of angina pectoris. An exercise stress test reproduced his symptoms and caused 1.5 mm of ST depression. Because a relative had a fatal event associated with invasive coronary angiography, he wished to have only noninvasive testing. Coronary computed tomographic (CT) angiography using 16-slice technology (Siemens Sensa...
متن کاملAssessment of coronary plaque progression in coronary computed tomography angiography using a semiquantitative score.
OBJECTIVES We sought to describe the progression of coronary atherosclerotic plaque over time by computed tomography (CT) angiography stratified by plaque composition and its association with cardiovascular risk profiles. BACKGROUND Data on the progression of atherosclerosis stratified by plaque composition with the use of noninvasive assessment by CT are limited and hampered by high measurem...
متن کاملRuptured ectopic pregnancy diagnosed with computed tomography
BACKGROUND The rupture of ectopic pregnancy (EP) still remains the primary and direct cause of death in the first trimester of pregnancy. Ultrasonography is known to be a modality of choice in EP diagnostics. We found a severe discrepancy between the frequency of ectopic pregnancies (EP) and the number of available computed tomography (CT) examinations. CASE REPORT A 29-year-old woman was adm...
متن کاملCoronary plaque stabilization followed by Color Code Plaque analysis with 64-slice multidetector row computed tomography.
A 61-year-old woman with hypercholesterolemia, hypertension and diabetes mellitus was referred to hospital for the evaluation of chest pain at rest. Eccentric 50% stenosis in the proximal right coronary artery was detected by 64-slice multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT). The plaque morphology was considered as soft by Color Code Plaque (CCP) analysis. Seven days after MDCT, chest pain ...
متن کاملImage Quality of 256-Slice Computed Tomography for Coronary Angiography.
PURPOSE To assess the image quality of 256-slice computed tomographic angiography (CTA) and to identify possible impact factors associated with image quality. METHODS From November 2009 to January 2010, 506 patients underwent 256-slice CTA at our institute. A total of 451 patients were enrolled in our study, after 55 patients were excluded because of prior bypass surgery and stenting. CTA ima...
