Comparison of Image Quality of Low Voltage 64-slice Multidetector CT Angiography with the Standard Condition in Patients Suspected of Pulmonary Embolism
Introduction: Reduction of peak kilovoltage (kV) setting has been a useful approach to d creating radiation dose; however, it may have varied effects on noise and the accuracy of diagnosis. Thus, we compared image quality between low (80 kV) and standard kilovoltage (100 kV) protocols. Material and Methods: This triple blind non-randomized parallel quasi-experimental study was conducted on 140 ...

متن کاملContrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography: a new prognosticator in acute pulmonary embolism?
We have read with interest the paper by Baptista et al., in which the authors propose that contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) may help assess prognosis in patients with intermediateto high-risk pulmonary embolism (PE).1 MDCT has traditionally been used for diagnostic purposes, but its potential role as a prognosticator in PE has been the subject of several studies in the...
متن کاملThree-dimensional reconstruction of New Zealand rabbit antebrachium by multidetector computed tomography
The aim of this study was to reveal biometric peculiarities of New Zealand white rabbit antebrachium (radius and ulna) by means of three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) images. Under general anesthesia, the antebrachiums of a total of sixteen rabbits of both sexes were scanned with a general diagnostic MDCT. Biometric measurements of the reconstructed...
متن کاملMyocardial rupture associated with bolus injection of contrast medium during computed tomographic study in a patient with acute myocardial infarction: a rare but lethal complication
Contrast-enhanced computed tomographic (CT) scans are being performed daily for many reasons. They are especially useful for the evaluation of patients with acute chest symptoms because myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, and aortic dissection have overlapping clinical presentations. Indeed, advances in technology and the introduction of multidetector CT scan have enabled better evaluati...
