CT Coronary Angiography with 100kV tube voltage and a low noise reconstruction filter in non-obese patients: evaluation of radiation dose and diagnostic quality of 2D and 3D image reconstructions using open source software (OsiriX) [PDF]
INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE. Computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) has seen a dramatic evolution in the last decade owing to the availability of multislice CT scanners with 64 detector rows and beyond.

In summary, a self‐supervised end‐to‐end framework for OCT image despeckling is proposed, without access to unpaired noisy–clean images or paired noisy–noisy images for training. The despeckling performance has been evaluated on 150 subjects from five retina datasets (121 subjects) and one middle ear dataset (29 subjects). Optical coherence tomography (

Left Main Coronary Artery Hypoplasia in Elderly
Congenital anomalies of the coronary artery causing coronary occlusive disease may be of many different types. A 67-year-old woman with no coronary risk factors was referred for coronary angiography with few months’ history of angina.

Coronary microvascular dysfunction equivalent to left main coronary artery disease
Coronary microvascular dysfunction, also known as cardiac syndrome X, is a clinical syndrome presenting with typical angina and evidence of myocardial ischemia in the absence of flow-limiting stenosis on coronary angiography. Of patients undergoing

This study introduces a hydraulically steerable catheter with a soft tip in vascular procedures. The steering soft tip achieves a minimal diameter of 2.6 mm and supports a 180° bend. Real‐time shape and position tracking, facilitated by segmentation and endpoint detection techniques, improves navigation.

Effect of Vascepa (icosapent ethyl) on progression of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with elevated triglycerides (200-499 mg/dL) on statin therapy: Rationale and design of the EVAPORATE study. [PDF]
Despite reducing progression and promoting regression of coronary atherosclerosis, statin therapy does not fully address residual cardiovascular (CV) risk.

Postmortem coronary CT angiography [PDF]
In the past few decades, the medical autopsy rate has markedly decreased owing to several factors such as the family’s refusal to provide consent, complexity of a time-consuming procedure, and fear of litigation in case of a missed diagnosis. On the other hand, CT and MR scans have increased the accuracy of diagnostic procedures and reduced the need ...
