Case: Ruling out Coronary Artery disease with 0.69 mSv
|
Coronary CTA using 100 kV tube potential and the FLASH spiral acquisition mode allowed ruling out coronary artery disease in this normal-sized adult patient with a DLP of 49 in only 0.29 s scan time without the use of beta blockers. Read more

Case: Dual Energy Coronary CTA for Evaluation of Chest Pain after RCA Revascularization
|
In this case, Dual Energy coronary CTA was used to image a complication of interventional recanalization, i.e. acute in-stent thrombosis, while the initial clinical diagnosis of acute aortic dissection could reliably be ruled out. Read more

CT coronary angio
|
The following question has been sent by Akhilesh Singh: CT coronary angio – what is the normal range of calcium score? Ralf Bauer, MD, Clinic of the Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany: Dear Mr. Singh, thank you for your question! But actually, it is not easy to answer. First, there is no real “normal” range. … Read more

Compound analysis of gallstones using dual energy computed Tomography – Results in a phantom model
|
The potential of dual energy computed tomography (DECT) for the analysis of gallstone compounds was investigated. The main goal was to find parameters, that can reliably define high percentage (> 70 %) cholesterol stones without calcium components. Read more

Pulmonary embolism with Dual Energy LungPBV
|
Tips and tricks As the FOV is limited to 26 cm due to the smaller detector of the B-system, it is very important to place the patient centrally in the scan field to cover as much lung parenchyma as possible. Use a lateral and … Read more
