To evaluate diagnostic image quality of high-pitch dual source comprehensive cardiothoracic CT protocol in patients presenting with acute undifferentiated chest pain. 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

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

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

Objective CT of the paranasal sinus is the standard diagnostic tool for a wide range of indications in mostly younger patients. This study aims to assess the image quality of CT of the sinus by using a high-pitch dual-source technique with special regard to the radiation dose. Methods Examinations were performed … Read more

To evaluate the quality of stent lumen delineation using DSCT in the standard-pitch mode (SP) as compared to the high-pitch mode (HP) in a phantom study. Read more

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) represents a reliable and accurate modality for the diagnosis and exclusion of coronary artery disease. A huge number of studies have investigated the diagnostic performance of CT coronary angiography among different generations of CT scanners. Nevertheless, radiation doses still remain a matter of concern. Read more
