Balazs Ruzsics, M.D., PhD

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
