With their small dimensions and fast motion, the coronary vessels are not easy to interpret by CT and impeccable image quality is a prerequisite to reliably detect or rule out stenoses. Owing to its high temporal and spatial resolution Dual Source CT should allow for reliable assessment of the coronary … Read more

Purpose Dual-Source CT (DSCT) has substantially improved temporal resolution over previous scanner generations, which holds promise to increase the accuracy of coronary CT angiography (cCTA). We aimed to assess the impact of DSCT on radiation dose, diagnostic quality and use of rate control at cCTA compared with 64-slice CT. Method and materials The … Read more
