Aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of 3D-MIP images after subtraction of bone and calcified plaques (PBS) using dual energy CT for the assessment of carotid bifurcation stenoses. Read more

To compare image noise, image quality and diagnostic accuracy of cCTA using a novel iterative reconstruction algorithm versus traditional filtered back projection. Read more

To prospectively compare traditional filtered back projection (FBP) and iterative image reconstruction for the evaluation of heavily calcified arteries with coronary CTA. Read more

DECT has the potential to automatically remove calcified plaques from angiographic data sets. The objective of this study is to compare the accuracy of visual grading of stenoses after plaque removal with visual grading in standard reconstructions. Read more

At sub-second, low radiation dose CTA of the chest, use of individualized, patient-based contrast media delivery protocols results in reliable, diagnostic contrast enhancement of all target vessels. Read more

To compare image quality and radiation dose of high-pitch CTA of the aortic valve-aortic root complex with and without prospective ECG-gating compared to a retrospectively ECG-gated standard-pitch acquisition. Read more

The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and efficiency of this technique by comparing maximum intensity projections (MIP) created with different bone removal techniques. Read more
