High-pitch spiral CT: effect on image quality and radiation dose in pediatric chest CT

posted by Michael M. Lell, M.D. | Nov 10, 2011
Michael M. Lell, M.D.

We evaluated a new, subsecond high-pitch scan mode (HPM), which obviates the need of sedation and to hold the breath. Read more

Detection of coronary artery stenoses by low-dose, prospectively ECG-triggered, high-pitch spiral coronary CT angiography

Michael M. Lell, M.D.

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 compare the diagnostic accuracy and radiation doses of two low-dose protocols for coronary artery imaging with second-generation DSCT in comparison with catheter angiography. Read more

High-pitch DSCT angiography of the aortic valve-aortic root complex without ECG-synchronization

posted by Sebastian Leschka, M.D. | Jan 26, 2011
Sebastian Leschka, M.D.

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
