DEPARTMENT of CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY Quantification of Mitral Valve Regurgitation by Left Ventricular Volume and Flow Measurements Using Electron Beam Computed Tomography: Comparison with Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Method Forty-three patients, among them 33 with known mitral regurgitation, underwent electron beam CT and MR imaging. Total left ventricular stroke volume (TSV), antegrade stroke volume (ASV), and mitral regurgitation volume (MRV) and fraction (MRF) were determined and compared between the two modalities. Additionaly electron beam CT measurements were compared with the corresponding echocardio...
متن کاملTrabecular bone structural parameters evaluated using dental cone-beam computed tomography: cellular synthetic bones
OBJECTIVE This study compared the adequacy of dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and micro computed tomography (micro-CT) in evaluating the structural parameters of trabecular bones. METHODS The cellular synthetic bones in 4 density groups (Groups 1-4: 0.12, 0.16, 0.20, and 0.32 g/cm3) were used in this study. Each group comprised 8 experimental specimens that were approximately 1 cm...
متن کاملA cone-beam volume CT using a 3D angiography system with a flat panel detector of direct conversion type: usefulness for superselective intra-arterial chemotherapy for head and neck tumors.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The development of flat panel detectors (FPDs) has made cone-beam CT feasible for practical use in a clinical setting. Our purpose was to assess the usefulness of cone-beam CT using the FPD in conjunction with conventional digital subtraction angiography (DSA) for performing superselective intra-arterial chemotherapy for head and neck tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twent...
متن کاملAssessment of Left Ventricular Function in Cardiac MSCT Imaging by a 4D Hierarchical Surface-Volume Matching Process
Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) scanners offer new perspectives for cardiac kinetics evaluation with 4D dynamic sequences of high contrast and spatiotemporal resolutions. A new method is proposed for cardiac motion extraction in multislice CT. Based on a 4D hierarchical surface-volume matching process, it provides the detection of the heart left cavities along the acquired sequence and th...

Introduction: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the variations in delivered dose to the bladder, rectum, and femoral heads of prostate cancer patients during a course of treatment by image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT). Materials and Methods: Overall, 15 patients with prostate cancer were selected and. Each week, for each patient five consecutive cone beam computed tomograph...
