Accuratezza diagnostica della Cardio TC a doppia sorgente di 3^ generazione con protocollo FLASH per la rilevazione di stenosi coronariche in pazienti candidati a procedura TAVI
Evaluate the performance of cardio TC performed by third generation Dual Source equipment and thoraco-abdominal FLASH protocol for the evaluation of coronary stenosis in a population of patients candidates for TAVI
Valutazione delle arterie coronarie mediante TC a doppia sorgente di 2^ e 3^ generazione: qualità d’immagine e dose di radiazioni in pazienti non selezionati con protocollo FLASH ad alto pitch.
To evaluate the performance of a high pitch FLASH protocol with second and third generation dual source devices in the evaluation of coronary arteries in an unselected population of patients undergoing thoracic or thoracic-abdominal CT angiography (primarily non-coronary exams)
Abdominal Computed Tomography Angiography at 80kV: feasibility study.
preliminary evaluation of different dose reduction algorithms in abdominal Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) with standard scan protocols at 120kV vs. 80kV.prospective, randomized, crossover study. 60 consecutive patients who underwent CTA of the abdomen (Sensation 64, Siemens; Iomeprol 400 mgl/ml Bracco) for suspected or diagnosed Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) were enrolled in the study. A standard 120kV/200mAs scan protocol was acquired in all patients (reference tube current modulated with Automatic Exposure Control). In each patient a second scan with 80kV/300mAs (Group 1; n. 20), 80kV/400mAs (Group 2; n. 20), 80kV/500mAs (Group 3; n. 20) was acquired. We used the same scan/recons…
