High-pitch electrocardiogram-triggered CT of the chest: initial results

posted by Michael M. Lell, M.D. | Feb 20, 2012

We describe a new high-pitch scan mode, which has been developed specifically for low-dose ECG-triggered CTA using DSCT. Read more

Dual energy CTA of the supraaortic arteries: technical improvements with a novel dual source CT system

posted by Michael M. Lell, M.D. | Jan 30, 2012

We sought to describe the performance of DE-CTA of the supraaortic vessels with a novel dual source CT system with special emphasis on image quality and post-processing related artifacts. 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

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

Coronary CTA with a consistent dose below 1 mSv using prospectively electrocardiogram-triggered high-pitch spiral acquisition

posted by Michael M. Lell, M.D. | Dec 20, 2011

We evaluated the feasibility and image quality of a new scan mode for coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) with an effective dose of less than 1 mSv. Read more

Evaluation of coronary stents and stenoses at different heart rates with dual source spiral CT (DSCT)

posted by Michael M. Lell, M.D. | Nov 26, 2011

The utilization of dual source computed tomography (DSCT) might improve the visualization of the coronary arteries by imaging at a temporal resolution of 83 milliseconds, independent of heart rate. Read more

Effect of CT scan protocols on x-ray-induced DNA double-strand breaks in blood lymphocytes of patients undergoing coronary CTA

posted by Michael M. Lell, M.D. | Nov 18, 2011

To compare in vivo DNA lesions induced during helical and sequential coronary CTA and to evaluate the effect of CT parameters on double-strand break (DSB) levels. Read more

High-pitch spiral CT: effect on image quality and radiation dose in pediatric chest CT

posted by Michael M. Lell, M.D. | Nov 10, 2011

We evaluated a new, subsecond high-pitch scan mode (HPM), which obviates the need of sedation and to hold the breath. Read more

Dose reduction in abdominal CT: intraindividual comparison of image quality of full-dose standard and half-dose iterative reconstructions with DSCT

posted by Michael M. Lell, M.D. | Nov 3, 2011

We sought to evaluate the image quality of iterative reconstruction in image space (IRIS) in half-dose (HD) datasets compared with full-dose (FD) and HD filtered back projection (FBP) reconstruction in abdominal CT. Read more
