主要方法:
- PCDCT扫描是在模拟狭窄的幻体和33名接受冠心CTA的患者身上进行的.
- 扫描在9个VMI能量水平 (40-140 keV) 进行了重建.
- 测量了百分比直径狭窄 (PDS) 和开花的文物范围,并与患者的幻影地面真相和侵入性冠状动脉血管学 (ICA) 进行了比较.
主要成果:
- 在幻影中,VMI重建显著减少了PDS和开花的文物,在90 keV (25%的狭窄) 和100 keV (50%的狭窄) 观察到的最佳偏差.

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT
Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...
Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT
Calcium-Scoring CT ScanA calcium-scoring CT scan, also known as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, detects calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. This test assesses the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to cardiovascular events such as angina, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.A calcium-scoring CT scan is generally recommended for individuals at intermediate risk of CAD without symptoms. It includes:Men aged 40-75 and women aged 50-75: Especially those with a...
