Harald Seifarth, M.D.

Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the position of the optimal systolic and diastolic reconstruction interval for coronary CT angiography using Dual-Source-CT (DSCT). Materials and methods: In 90 patients, coronary DSCT angiography was performed without a prescan administration of beta blocking agents. Data were reconstructed in 5 % … Read more
