The value of dual-energy bone removal in maximum intensity projections of lower extremity CT angiography
 |
The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and efficiency of this technique by comparing maximum intensity projections (MIP) created with different bone removal techniques. Read more

Quantitative parameters to compare image quality of non-invasive coronary angiography with 16-slice, 64-slice and DSCT
 |
The main advantage of DSCT lies with the heart rate independency, which might have a positive impact on the diagnostic accuracy. Read more

Efficacy of computer aided analysis in detection of significant coronary artery stenosis in cardiac using DSCT
 |
CAT of the coronary tree shows comparable accuracy to manual 3D analysis but needs improvements concerning coronary tree segmentation times. Read more

Coronary artery stent imaging with 128-slice DSCT using high-pitch spiral acquisition in a cardiac phantom: comparison with the sequential and low-pitch spiral mode.
 |
The HPS mode of 128-slice dual-source CT yields fewer artefacts inside the stent lumen compared with SPIR and SEQ, but image noise is higher. Read more

Left ventricular and left atrial dimensions and volumes: comparison between dual-source CT and echocardiography
|
|
Our results indicate that DSCT provides reliable measurements of LV dimensions, volumes, and myocardial mass with similar values as compared with echocardiography. Read more

Image quality analysis to reduce dental artifacts in head and neck imaging with DSCT
|
|
MPRs are not capable of reducing dental artifacts sufficiently. In patients with dental artifacts overlying the anatomical structures of the oropharynx, an additional short angulated spiral parallel to the floor of the mouth is recommended and should be applied for daily routine. Read more

Remodelling of the aortic root in severe tricuspid aortic stenosis: implications for transcatheter aortic valve implantation
|
|
Detailed knowledge of aortic root geometry is a prerequisite to anticipate complications of transcatheter aortic valve (TAV) implantation. We determined coronary ostial locations and aortic root dimensions in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) and compared these values with normal subjects using computed tomography (CT). Read more
