Diagnostic accuracy and image quality of cardiac DSCT in patients with arrhythmia
 |
However, in patients with heart rate irregularities, MDCT was found to have limitations. Thus, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a new DSCT scanner generation with 83 ms temporal resolution in patients without stable sinus rhythm. Read more
