Hatem Alkadhi, M.D.

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

Comparison of Iterative and Filtered Back Projection Image Reconstruction Techniques for the Evaluation of Heavily Calcified Vessels with Coronary CT Angiography
