Objective/Purpose Aim of this study was to retrospectively compare the image quality and the radiation dose of an ultra high pitch CT scan for the evaluation of pulmonary embolism and visualization o...
Quantification of coronary artery calcium on the basis of dual-energy coronary CT angiography 31 Jul 2013 | 10:52 am
Purpose To evaluate the feasibility of using virtual noncontrast material-enhanced (VNC) computed tomographic (CT) series derived from dual-energy CT imaging studies for coronary artery calcium quant...
Optimal timing for first-pass stress CT myocardial perfusion imaging 23 Jul 2013 | 10:42 am
CT-based myocardial perfusion imaging (CTP) has been shown to accurately detect myocardial perfusion defects when compared to SPECT. When performing single-phase first-pass stress CTP, timing is of ma...
