Coarctation of the descending aorta, patent ductus arteriosus, deficiency of right superior vena cava, and persistent left superior vena cava in a five-month infant demonstrated by multislice computed tomography

New classification of aortic dissection during the cardiac cycle as pulsating type and static type evaluated by electrocardiogram-gated multislice CT

“…MSCT is a useful tool for the diagnosis of coronary artery [20][21][22][23][24][25], myocardial [15,[26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34], congenital cardiac [35][36][37][38] and aortic diseases [39][40][41][42][43], and since the number of acquisition systems has increased up to 256-320 [44][45][46], ECG-gated acquisition is readily available for clinical use. One of the demerits of the procedure is that the total radiation exposure in ECG-gated acquisition in the thorax is approximately 2 times higher than that of non-ECG gated acquisition following conventional protocols using a constant tube voltage and current.…”

Positive influence of aging on the occurrence of fat replacement in the right ventricular myocardium determined by multislice-CT in subjects with atherosclerosis

“…MSCT is a useful tool for the diagnosis of coronary artery [17][18][19][20][21][22], myocardial [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32], congenital heart [33][34][35][36], and aortic diseases [37][38][39][40][41]. Furthermore, it is also one of the most important diagnostic modalities for investigating FR in the RVM for the diagnosis of ARVC; as presented as Fig.…”

A recurrent patent ductus arteriosus

“…Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] can occur as part of more congenital cardiac malformations or as an isolate finding. Spontaneous [5,8], transcatheter [6], surgical closure [9] and pharmacological treatment [8,[10][11][12] have been reported.…”
