CT may have potential for the integrative assessment of all aspects of coronary artery disease including coronary artery morphology, cardiac function, perfusion, and viability with a single modality. Read more

The purpose of this article is to compare the performance of dual-energy CT with that of 3-T MRI with late enhancement for the detection of chronic myocardial infarction during first-pass coronary CT angiography (CTA). Read more

Using iodine concentration as a quantitative surrogate for perfusion could enhance the potential role of DECT as a stand-alone modality for integrative imaging of ischemic heart disease. Read more

Compared with SPECT, DECT showed more accurate detection rates for reversible and fixed perfusion defects seen on cMRI, and revealed higher agreement for identifying the type of perfusion defect. Read more

To prospectively determine the best cut-off value of stenosis degree for low-dose CT coronary angiography to predict the hemodynamic significance of coronary artery stenoses compared to catheter angiography using a cardiac MR based approach as standard of reference. Read more

The purpose of this article is to compare the performance of dual-energy CT with that of 3-T MRI with late enhancement for the detection of chronic myocardial infarction during first-pass CTA. Read more

Feb 21, 2010 to Feb 24, 2010. This 4-day course is devoted to cutting edge cardiac imaging. Participants will have an opportunity to learn the basics of cardiac CT and MRI acquisition and interpretation with interactive workstation reviews of 50 cardiac CT exams. Read more
