Coronary micro-computed tomography angiography in mice [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractCoronary computed tomography angiography is an established technique in clinical practice and a valuable tool in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease in humans. Imaging of coronaries in preclinical research, i.e. in small animals, is very difficult due to the high demands on spatial and temporal resolution. Mice exhibit heart rates of up to

Anatomical variants and coronary anomalies detected by dual-source coronary computed tomography angiography in North-eastern Thailand [PDF]
, 2018 Purpose: Congenital coronary anomalies are uncommon, with an incidence ranging from 0.17% in autopsy cases to 1.2% in angiographically evaluated cases. The recent development of dual-source coronary computed tomography angiography (coronary CTA) allows ...
