Usually, rheumatologic diseases are of many kinds, numerous and varied, making a quick diagnosis sometimes difficult. Siemens Computed Tomography, using Dual Energy acquisition techniques, allows the visualization of uric acid deposits. Read more

Radiation exposure and image quality in staged low-dose protocols for coronary dual-source CT angiography: a randomized comparison

posted by Michael M. Lell, M.D. | Jan 3, 2012
Michael M. Lell, M.D.

To evaluate staged low-dose approaches for coronary CT angiography (CTA) in which a standard sequence was added if the low-dose sequence did not allow reliable rule-out of coronary stenosis. Read more
