Although echocardiography is the imaging method of choice for diagnostic, preoperative,
and postoperative evaluation of congenital heart disease, computed tomography (CT) is a …

Aims The aim of our study was to investigate the accuracy of 64-slice computed tomography
(CT) for assessing haemodynamically significant stenoses of coronary arteries. Methods …

The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of dual-source computed tomography
(DSCT) for evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD) in a population with extensive …

Aims The aim was to validate, update, and extend the Diamond–Forrester model for estimating
the probability of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in a contemporary cohort. …

Purpose: To evaluate prospectively the effect of average heart rate and heart rate variability
on image quality at 64-section computed tomographic (CT) coronary angiography. Materials …

Multi–detector row computed tomographic (CT) angiography is an effective modality for
vascular imaging in the thorax. It allows acquisition of high-resolution data sets during a single …

Objectives To develop prediction models that better estimate the pretest probability of coronary
artery disease in low prevalence populations. Design Retrospective pooled analysis of …

Objective: To investigate the performance of low-dose, dual-source computed tomography (DSCT)
coronary angiography in the step-and-shoot (SAS) mode for the diagnosis of …

Purpose: To prospectively investigate computed tomographic (CT) image quality parameters
by using different protocols and to calculate radiation dose estimates for noninvasive …

Triage decisions in patients suffering from acute chest pain remain a challenge. The patient’s
history, initial cardiac enzyme levels, or initial electrocardiograms (ECG) often do not allow …
