Diagnostic accuracy with non-invasive 64-slice CT coronary angiography
Prognostic outcome of routine clinical noninvasive Multidetector row Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography in Patients with suspected coronary artery disease: a 2-years follow-up study.
The aim of the study was to assess the prognostic value of multidetector-row CT coronary angiography (MDCT-CA) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) in a routine clinical context.A total of 125 patients (82 men, age 57.4±10.3 years) with suspected CAD underwent MDCT-CA. All patients were assessed for cardiovascular risk factors, symptoms and coronary calcium score. A 2-year follow-up study for the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events was performed.According to the Morise pretest score, 76 patients (60.8%) were at intermediate risk. Patients with suspected CAD presented the following prognostic outcome (p0.0001): in 41 patients with normal coronary arteries at MDCT-C…
Health technology assessment della TC del cuore: analisi globale e multidisciplinare della procedura diagnostica
Imaging della coartazione aortica mediante angiografia con Tomografia Computerizzata Multistrato cardiosincronizzata
Broncoscopia virtuale in pazienti con lesioni endobronchiali stenosanti. Ottimizzazione della tecnica con TC spirale monostrato
PURPOSE: To describe an original protocol for single slice spiral Computed Tomography (CT) virtual bronchoscopy in the evaluation of patients with central airway stenoses and compare the results with fibreoptic bronchoscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten patients (4 female and 6 male; age range 22-60 years; mean age 44 years) with endobronchial disease diagnosed by fibreoptic bronchoscopy (8 malignant tumours, 1 benign tumour and 1 fibroid stenosis) underwent virtual bronchoscopy with single slice spiral CT. A panoramic spiral CT scan of the whole chest was first obtained. Once the area of interest had been identified, a new contrast enhanced scan was performed, from bottom to top, with the fo…
Clinical indications for cardiac computed tomography. From the Working Group of the Cardiac Radiology Section of the Italian Society of Medical Radiology (SIRM).
"\"La tomografia computerizzata del cuore (CCT) è diventata uno strumento efficace in differenti contesti clinici. Lo sviluppo della tecnologia ha portato ad una progressiva espansione delle indicazioni con una concomitante riduzione della dose di radiazioni necessaria per l’esecuzione dell’indagine. Ancora oggi sono pochi i documenti delle maggiori società scientifiche internazionali che si esprimono sulle effettive modalità di utilizzo e sulle indicazioni cliniche della CCT; in particolare mancano delle linee guida complete. Questo documento rispecchia la visione del gruppo di lavoro della Sezione di Cardio-Radiologia della Società Italiana di Radiologia Medica in merito alle indicazioni …

Coronary Vessel Wall Remodelling as a Parameter for Plaque Vulnerability Displayed with 64-slice CT Coronary Angiography with Intravascular Ultrasound Correlation
Comparison of iodinated contrast media for the assessment of atherosclerotic plaque attenuation values by CT coronary angiography: observations in an ex vivo model
Objective: To compare the influence of different iodinated contrast media with several dilutions on plaque attenuation in an ex vivo coronary model studied by multislice CT coronary angiography. Methods: In six ex vivo left anterior descending coronary arteries immersed in oil, CT (slices/collimation 64x0.625 mm, temporal resolution 210 ms, pitch 0.2) was performed after intracoronary injection of a saline solution, and solutions of a dimeric isosmolar contrast medium (Iodixanol 320 mgl ml(-1)) and a monomeric high-iodinated contrast medium (Iomeprol 400 mgl ml(-1)) with dilutions of 1/80 (low concentration), 1/50 (medium concentration), 1/40 (high concentration) and 1/20 (very high concent…
Atherosclerotic pattern of coronary myocardial bridging assessed with CT coronary angiography
The aim of our study was to evaluate the atherosclerotic pattern of patients with coronary myocardial bridging (MB) by means of CT Coronary Angiography (CT-CA). 254 consecutive patients (166 male, mean age 58.6 +/- A 10.3) who underwent 64-slice CT-CA according to current clinical indications were reviewed for the presence of MB and concomitant segmental atherosclerotic pattern. Coronary plaques were assessed in all patients enrolled. 73 patients (29%) presented single (90%) or multiple (10%) MB, frequently (93%) localized in the mid-distal left anterior descending artery. The MB segment was always free of atherosclerosis. Segments proximal to the MB presented: no atherosclerotic disease (n…
