We evaluated the concept of arterial first-pass myocardial stress perfusion imaging using 2nd generation dual-source CT. Read more

This article compares cost-effectiveness and potential lifetime benefits of using dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) for myocardial perfusion assessment instead of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for the workup of coronary artery disease (CAD). Read more

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

This article is part of the seven-article series on “Dual Energy CT – Scientific Evidence and Clinical Application”. T. Johnson talks about DE applications in thoracic imaging comprising lung perfusion, lung ventilation, pulmonary nodules, and myocardial perfusion. Read more

Adenosine-stress volumetric first pass CT perfusion imaging may enable the evaluation of parameters of myocardial perfusion in a comparable fashion as MRI. Read more

Adenosine stress volumetric dynamic CT perfusion appears promising for assessment of cardiac function. Read more
