    ECG-controlled cardio-computer tomography images specific cardiac phases for myocardial assessment. This technique effectively identifies dyskinetic or akinetic myocardium, aligning well with laevo-cardiogram findings.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular imaging
    • Medical diagnostics
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • ECG-gated cardiac CT requires specific cardiac cycle phases for image acquisition.
    • Multiple cardiac cycles are often needed to achieve adequate projection data.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of ECG-controlled cardio-computer tomography in assessing myocardial motion abnormalities.
    • To compare findings with established diagnostic methods like the laevo-cardiogram.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing ECG-gating to select optimal cardiac phases for computed tomography imaging.
    • Acquiring projection data over several cardiac cycles.

    Main Results:

    • ECG-controlled cardio-computer tomography accurately identifies dyskinetic or akinetic portions of the myocardium.

  • Findings demonstrate good agreement with laevo-cardiogram results.
  • Septum, apex, and antero-lateral wall motion are clearly visualized due to their planar movement.
  • Anterior and posterior wall motion visualization is more challenging due to angled movement relative to the CT plane.

    • Conclusions:

    • ECG-controlled cardio-computer tomography is a valuable tool for diagnosing myocardial motion disorders.
    • The technique offers reliable assessment of regional myocardial function.
    • Understanding the limitations related to wall motion angulation is crucial for interpretation.
