BACKGROUND Coronary artery anomalies are evaluated by using catheter-based angiography. Multidetector row-computed tomography (MDCT) is a new noninvasive imaging technique that has excellent spatial resolution for detecting the origin and course of a coronary anomalous vessel. OBJECTIVE To determine the sensitivity of multidetector computed tomography in patients who had coronary artery anoma...

UNLABELLED The diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) is usually established by a combination of clinical assessment, D-dimer testing, and imaging with either pulmonary ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scintigraphy or pulmonary multidetector CT (MDCT) angiography. Both V/Q SPECT and MDCT angiography seem to have high diagnostic accuracy. However, only limited data directly comparing these 2 modalities...

trauma is the leading cause of death in united states in the younger population. cardiac trauma is common following blunt chest injuries and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. this study discusses various multidetector computed tomography (mdct) findings of cardiac trauma. cardiac injuries are broadly categorized into the most commonly occurring blunt cardiac injury and the less c...

We report multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) findings of a 34-year-old female with isolated left ventricular apical hypoplasia. The MDCT and CMR scans displayed a spherical left ventricle (LV) with extensive fatty infiltration within the myocardium at the apex, interventricular septum and inferior wall, anteroapical origin of the papillary muscle, righ...

Abstract Background Pediatric chronic lung disease (CLD) represents a heterogeneous group of several distinct clinical entities, with its prevalence increasing over the last decade. The current study aimed to identify role chest multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) using modified Bhalla scoring for early diagnosis CLD in pediatric patients and determine most common MDCT findings. This prosp...

BACKGROUND Objective; To find out the role of MDCT in the evaluation of obstructive jaundice with respect to the cause and level of the obstruction, and its accuracy. To identify the advantages of MDCT with respect to other imaging modalities. To correlate MDCT findings with histopathology/surgical findings/Endoscopic Retrograde CholangioPancreatography (ERCP) findings as applicable. MATERIAL...

AIM To assess the prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in asymptomatic subjects using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and its relationships to demographic and clinical risk factors. MATERIAL AND METHOD We enrolled consecutive asymptomatic volunteers with no evidence of ischemic heart disease that underwent MDCT for the early detection of CAD. All MDCT findings were correlated ...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness and safety of multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) pulmonary angiography and indirect venography management of acute pulmonary embolism (PE), including indication for inferior vena cava (IVC) filter. METHODS AND RESULTS Seventy-one consecutive patients who were clinically suspected of PE and underwent 16-slice MDCT pu...

Multi-Detector Computed Tomography (MDCT) has been used to detect coronary lesions in a number of earlier studies. Here, we describe a rare case of congenital anomaly of the coronary artery, i.e., the R-II-B subtype (Lipton classification) of single coronary artery (SCA). A 61 year old man with angina was referred to our hospital. Assessment by coronary angiography (CAG) suggested SCA. The R-II...
