Adenosine stress high-pitch 128-slice dual-source myocardial CT perfusion for imaging of reversible myocardial ischemia: comparison with MRI
|
Adenosine-induced stress 128-slice dual-source high-pitch myocardial CTP allows for simultaneously assessment of reversible myocardial ischemia and coronary stenosis, with good diagnostic accuracy as compared with CMR and invasive angiography, at a very low radiation exposure. Read more

Case: Cystic Fibrosis
|
Major study in context CF. Air trapping right; reactive lymphadenopathy bilaterally. Because of adaptive dose shield and the possibility to scan with low kV, a very low dose is possible. Compared with a previous investigation, this case shows a disappearance of the upper lobe atelectasis, iIncreased air trapping on the … Read more
