Multislice CT scanners show promise for the noninvasive detection of coronary stenosis. Rapid improvements in technology mean that newer-generation spiral CT scanners are capable of higher spatial and ...

A coronary angiography is a test that doctors use to look at the coronary arteries. A coronary angiography may help diagnose certain heart conditions. The coronary arteries bring oxygenated blood to ...

Cardiac computed tomography (cardiac CT) includes coronary CT angiography (CTA) as well as using CT technology to assess disease of the cardiac valves, aorta and pericardium. This examination requires ...

The ROMICAT-II trial shows that CT coronary angiography is safe and fast for the exclusion of clinically significant obstructive coronary artery disease in low-risk patients with acute chest pain.

June 24, 2004 (Philadelphia) — A preliminary study on combined positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) of the heart showed that this noninvasive imaging tool works just as well ...

Doha: Heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, claiming millions of lives each year. Early detection is the most powerful weapon in preventing its devastating consequences. Over the ...

Coronary CT angiography for the suspected progression of known coronary artery disease in a 60-year-old female patient. Curved multiplanar reconstructions with 0.6- (yellow outline), 0.4- (blue ...

For people with stable chest pain and an intermediate pretest probability of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), an initial CT strategy fared similarly to invasive coronary angiography (ICA) ...

CT coronary angiography (CTCA) was found to be safe and effective for evaluating coronary artery disease in patients with a low-to-intermediate pretest probability of the disease. It demonstrated a ...
