Techniques for the Detection of Coronary Atherosclerosis: Multi–detector Row CT Coronary Angiography

Abstract: Although multi-detector row CT is a favorable alternative procedure in evaluating coronary arteries, its clinical value still is restricted to low heart rates and proximal coronary arterial segments.

“…19 However, in some patients, heart rates Յ60 bpm could not always be achieved at the expense of poor coronary artery visibility. 20 Two of the studies 21,22 excluded Ϸ30% of coronary segments mainly because of image degradation from cardiac motion. The image artifacts and the number of excluded coronary segments may be significantly reduced (to Ϸ10%) by the use of ␤-blocker and careful patient selection.…”

“…A noteworthy favorable position of this arrangement is that the image data content shows the base probability of mutilation or blunders ensuing to post handling and the most extreme determination and dim scale rendering [41,42], an inconvenience of this configuration is that it requires the pursuer to rationally recreate the 3 dimensional anatomic connections of the courses and different structures in the thorax, since the information are shown in 2 dimensional and from one perspective.…”

“…Coronary angiography is the primary diagnostic tool for atherosclerosis. Imaging, as one way of non-invasive diagnosis, has drawbacks in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and cost 1,6 . Biomarker test on the blood, such as VCAM-1, selectin and integrin are considered as one of the potential diagnostic tool 7 .…”
