Coronary artery fly-through using electron beam computed tomography.
BACKGROUND Virtual reality techniques have recently been introduced into clinical medicine. This study examines the possibility of coronary artery fly-through using a dataset obtained by noninvasive coronary angiography with contrast-enhanced electron-beam computed tomography. METHODS AND RESULTS Ten patients were examined, and 40 to 60 transaxial tomograms (thickness, 1.5 mm; in-plane pixel ...
متن کاملPost-mortem three-dimensional reconstruction of the entire coronary arterial circulation using electron-beam computed tomography.
A50-year-old man died suddenly while exercising on a treadmill at a local health club. He had no known previous cardiac history. During autopsy, a radio-opaque silicone compound was injected into the coronary arteries. The explanted heart was then imaged by electron-beam computed tomography (EBCT) using 3-mm slices. A complete 3D reconstruction was then obtained using commercially available sof...
متن کاملImpact of diabetes on coronary stenosis and coronary artery calcification detected by electron-beam computed tomography in symptomatic patients.
OBJECTIVE Ischemic heart disease is a pivotal complication for diabetic patients. Electron-beam computed tomography (EBCT) represents the only noninvasive method that allows for accurate quantification of coronary artery calcification that reflects underlying atherosclerotic disease. Although coronary calcium score (CCS) cut points that predict the presence of angiographic stenosis have been es...
متن کاملContinuous probabilistic prediction of angiographically significant coronary artery disease using electron beam tomography.
BACKGROUND We sought to incorporate electron beam tomography-derived calcium scores in a model for prediction of angiographically significant coronary artery disease (CAD). Such a model could greatly facilitate clinical triage in symptomatic patients with no known CAD. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined 1851 patients with suspected CAD who underwent coronary angiography for clinical indications....
متن کاملThree-dimensional images of coronary arteries after heart transplantation using electron-beam computed tomography data with volume rendering.
A57-year-old man received a heart transplant in 1989 and has had no evidence of rejection. He underwent both electron-beam computed tomography (EBCT; ImatronC150XP, Imatron) and conventional coronary angiography as part of a post–heart transplant evaluation protocol. Conventional coronary angiograms revealed angiographically normal coronary arteries (Figure 1). EBCT images were performed at a t...
