We sought to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a new prospectively electrocardiogram (ECG)-triggered high-pitch scan mode for coronary CTA, which allows an effective dose of less than 1 mSv. Read more

To assess the effect of systolic data acquisition for ECG-triggered high-pitch CT on motion artefacts of coronary arteries in patients with high heart rates. Read more

Prospectively ECG-gated CTCA yields similar image quality, performs as accurately as retrospectively ECG-gated CTCA in patients having heart rates Read more

The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate the average heart rate and heart rate variability required for diagnostic imaging of the coronary arteries with high-pitch DSCT angiography of the thoracic and thoracoabdominal aorta. Read more

The main advantage of DSCT lies with the heart rate independency, which might have a positive impact on the diagnostic accuracy. Read more

pECG(dual-step)128-slice DSCT is feasible for the evaluation of coronary arteries and cardiac function without heart rate control in patients in stable sinus rhythm at a low radiation dose. Read more

Two interesting questions about CT in pediatrics have been asked on DSCT.com some time ago. As Dr. Hyun Woo Goo, who is an expert in pediatrics, recently joined the DSCT expert community, DSCT.com asked him to comment on these questions as well. Read his answers here. The following questions … Read more
