Pulmonary Artery Obstruction Index and Right Ventricular Dysfunction Signs in Initial and Follow up Pulmonary Computed Tomography Angiography in Acute Pulmonary Embolism [PDF]
Intoduction: Acute Pulmonary Embolism (APE) increases the pressure of the pulmonary arterial system with resulting Right Ventricle Dysfunction (RVD).

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 ...

Imaging is key to nearly all aspects of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension including management for screening, assessing eligibility for pulmonary endarterectomy, and post-operative follow-up. While ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy, the gold

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

Background: Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a risk factor for cardiovascular events. This study evaluated the relationship between Lp(a) and high-risk attributes by coronary computed tomography angiography as well as their prognostic value.

“Distal bright vessel sign” – Novel radiological sign of pulmonary thromboembolism
We describe a novel radiological sign of pulmonary thromboembolism on computed tomography aortic angiogram. It consists of focal hyperenhancement of pulmonary arteries distal to the pulmonary thrombus, while the thrombus itself remains occult and the ...

Lokelma's Interaction With Computed Tomography Angiography
A hospitalized 58-year-old man with hyperkalemia received oral Lokelma. Computed tomography angiography was performed due to concern for gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, which demonstrated radiopaque material throughout the GI tract, even though no oral ...

Acute Pulmonary Embolism: Prognostic Role of Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA)
Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA) is considered the gold standard diagnostic technique in patients with suspected acute pulmonary embolism in emergency departments. Several studies have been conducted on the predictive value of CTPA on the
