Case history: 64 year-old female presents with history of neck and chest pain. Diagnosis: Thickened quadricuspid pulmonary valve. Aneurysmal dilatation and asymmetry of pulmonary arteries. Stenosis of mid LAD with a component of myocardial bridging. Read more

Cardiac MDCT proves to be reliable source for detection of morphology of aortic valve. 4D images of phases between 0-90 % enable functional assessment of aortic valve and identification of degree of severity of valvular disorders. Read more

Electro-cardiogram (ECG)-gated dual energy computed tomography (DECT) of the heart may enable spectral analysis of the myocardium for areas of decreased blood supply in addition to morphological assessment for coronary artery stenosis. We used DECT for evaluating a 49-year-old woman with known coronary artery disease and new onset chest pain. She … Read more

To prospectively evaluate the effect of heart rate, heart rate variability, and calcification on dual-source computed tomography (CT) image quality and to prospectively assess diagnostic accuracy of dual-source CT for coronary artery stenosis, by using invasive coronary angiography as the reference standard.
