Radiation Dose and Vessel Attenuation at High-Speed CTA of the Torso: Intra-Individual and Inter-Individual Comparison with Conventional CTA
|
High-speed CTA is a promising technique for significantly reducing CTA-related radiation dose in non-obese patients. Read more

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

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

Dual energy CT for the assessment of reperfused chronic infarction – a feasibility study in a porcine model
|
To evaluate the feasibility and performance of dual energy CT during arterial phase in coronary CT angiography for the detection of chronic infarction compared with late enhancement MRI (LE-MRI) and histopathology in a porcine model of reperfused myocardial infarction. Read more
