Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CT is an accurate technique for assessing cardiac structure and function, but advances in computing power and scanning technology have resulted in increased popularity. It is useful in evaluating the myocardium, coronary arteries, pulmonary veins, thoracic aorta, pericardium, and cardiac masses; because of this and the speed at which scans can be performed, CT is even more attractive as a cost-effective and integral part of patient evaluation. This book collates all the current knowledge of cardiac CT and presents it in a clinically relevant and practical format appropriate for both cardiologists and radiologists. The images have been supplied by an experienced set of contributing authors and represent the full spectrum of cardiac CT. As increasing numbers have access to cardiac CT scanners, this book provides all the relevant information on this modality.
Download or read book Clinical Pearls in Diagnostic Cardiac Computed Tomographic Angiography written by Muzammil H. Musani and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a carefully selected compilation of challenging cases representative of the situations and pathologies likely to be encountered when performing cardiovascular imaging using CT. The conditions covered include coronary artery disease, anomalous coronary arteries, congenital heart disease, coronary artery bypass grafts, infectious diseases, structural heart disease, tumors, and aortic pathology. The book also provides insights into various scanning techniques geared towards the pre-procedural use of cardiac CTA in patients undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation, thoracic endovascular aortic repair, or transcatheter aortic valve replacement. In addition, scanning techniques for some of the more difficult cases that a cardiac imager may encounter in practice are reviewed. All images are high-resolution reproductions, and subsequent cardiac catheterization images are included for cases in which obstructive coronary artery disease was revealed. Clinical Pearls in Diagnostic Cardiac Computed Tomographic Angiography is specifically designed to meet the needs of residents, fellows, and physicians who have an interest in cardiovascular CT.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The task of obtaining high-quality time-resolved volumetric images of the heart has challenged the minds of imaging researchers for decades. While this problem is difficult, the high incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the developed world makes this problem all the more urgent. CVD is currently the most common cause of death in the United States. In this context, the role of imaging is dual; it can provide early diagnosis and can also enable cost-effective treatment of heart disease. This dissertation focuses on how to perform cardiac computed tomography (CT), while delivering a minimal dose of ionizing radiation. The enabling technology is the prior image constrained compressed sensing (PICCS) image reconstruction framework, which was developed and implemented at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Two applications of PICCS are examined: CT myocardial perfusion imaging and time-resolved interventional cardiac cone-beam CT. Several technical issues specific to these applications are described and evaluated. The performance of the method is characterized using quantitative image quality metrics so as to determine its limitations. Based on the results presented in this dissertation, one should better understand the potential role of PICCS in cardiac CT at the diagnostic and the interventional levels.
