This meta-analysis evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for bypass graft occlusion and stenosis detection compared with coronary angiography in post-coronary artery bypass graft patients. The indication for noninvasive imaging in post-coronary artery bypass graft patients with these techniques is discussed. Overall, M...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2013201379 DESCRIPTION High-resolution tomographic images acquired with a digital X-ray detector are often degraded by the so-called ring artefacts. Ring artefacts are the concentric rings superimposed on tomographic images. Artefacts in general can seriously degrade the quality of multidetector CT ...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a prevalent symptom of cardiovascular disease, which major worldwide health problem. Dyslipidemia, characterized by aberrant lipid levels, significantly contributes to CAD development and progression. Objective: This study aimed investigate whether correlation exists between dyslipidemia, as assessed profile parameters, CAC in individuals presenting with chest p...

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...
