A Comparison Between the Information in Gated and Nongated Cardiac CT Images

The Role of Cardiac MRI In Coronary Heart Disease Management

“…After 2-6 months, myocardial wall thinning is usually identified (46,47) . Ct scan is currently used to measure the total calcified plaque burden on the coronary tree (48) . Such measurement can help to estimate coronary artery disease risk (49) .…”

Comparison of multi-detector row computed tomography with echocardiography for assessment of left ventricular function in healthy dogs

“…In the Simpson calculation method, volume calculations are performed on the basis of measurements of the left ventricular cavity in contiguous MPR short-axis images of the heart; in contrast, the biplane area-length method relies on measurements obtained in long-axis MPR images perpendicular to the short axis. 12,13 To date, only a few studies [24][25][26] have described the use of MDCT to obtain images of the heart in nonhuman animals, and investigations of the utility of MDCT for assessment of cardiac function in dogs are lacking.…”

EUROMED-visualisation suites for medical imaging

“…An example in this direction is the combinatbn of the 3D myocardial scintigraphy over-imposition of the coronary angiography in order to obtain an approximate full description c d the myocardium anatomical and functional characteristics [3]. On other hand, taking into account that physiologic diastola is the longer period of the cardiac cycle, the CT, without using ultrafast CT, theoretical can visualise the myocardium morphology in the diastola period [4]. The computer power required for such an image diagnosis can be supported by a powerful workstation.…”
