This study investigates the sensitivity and specificity of dual-source CT (DSCT) to detect and rule out significant coronary stenoses in patients with atrial fibrillation referred for invasive coronary angiography. Read more

To prospectively determine the best cut-off value of stenosis degree for low-dose CT coronary angiography to predict the hemodynamic significance of coronary artery stenoses compared to catheter angiography using a cardiac MR based approach as standard of reference. Read more

To evaluate the quality of stent lumen delineation using DSCT in the standard-pitch mode (SP) as compared to the high-pitch mode (HP) in a phantom study. Read more

Review article about recent advances in multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) technology. Read more

The high-pitch dual spiral technique requires only about onefifth of the dose of conventional ECG gated triple-rule-out protocols, thus matching that of a standard nongated chest scan. Read more

The purpose of this communication is to describe the practical application of this technology for the comprehensive diagnosis of ischemic heart disease. Read more

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
