Sebastian Leschka, M.D.

The objective of this study was to assess the value of an integrated circuit detector, potentially improving spatial resolution by means of reduced cross talk between detector channels, in coronary CT angiography regarding image quality and stenosis quantification compared with conventional detector technology.

  • Axial CT slice showing thrombus (red arrow) within the right lower lobe pulmonary artery.
  • Coronal MPR image showing large right lower lobe pulmonary artery thrombus (red arrow).
  • Coronal Volume rendered image showing extent of right lower lobe thrombus (blue arrow).
  • Coronal Volume Rendered imaging highlighting course of pulmonary vessels, and this patients right lower lobe pulmonary artery thrombus (red arrow).

We show here that cardiac output, and blood volume in itself does not necessitate a larger dose. Read more
