Coronary computed tomography angiography in children [PDF]
Imaging the coronary arteries of children, with their faster heart rates, small vessel size and common inability to lie still or breath-hold, has been a major challenge. With numerous advances in technology, CT examinations can now be performed quickly, often with children free-breathing and with much lower radiation doses than previously. This has led

Coronary computed tomography angiography [PDF]
Contrast medium is injected intravenously, and multidetector technology is used to take an image of the heart during a single breath hold (acquisition time ~8 s for 64 detectors). Blockade is recommended for patients with heart rates faster than 65 beats/min to improve image quality and to ...

Coronary computed tomography angiography
Significant limitations exist for traditional noninvasive cardiac imaging with regard to equivocal or indeterminate findings that result in repetitive testing or unnecessary referral to invasive coronary angiography (ICA). Recent hardware and software advances in multislice computed tomography angiography have achieved high spatial and temporal ...
