Radiologists have discovered that prospective electrocardiogram gating allows them to significantly reduce the patient radiation dose delivered during computed tomography angiography, a common ...

July 16, 2009 (New York, New York) — Using prospective ECG gating during CT angiography--so that the patient is exposed to radiation only during key parts of the cardiac cycle--can drastically reduce ...

Emergency physicians who evaluate patients with nonspecific chest pain using whole chest multidetector CT (MDCT) combined with retrospective electrocardiogram (ECG) gating can reduce the patient ...

December 10, 2009 (Chicago, Illinois) — New research shows that a novel retrospective gating technique can almost halve radiation dose from coronary CT angiography (CCTA) in certain patients, without ...

Objectives and Background: In the giant aneurysm(g-AN), thrombus will be produced easily and will occlude coronary artery. But, it is difficult to detect the thrombus in the g-AN, because the slow and ...

A new cardiac CT technique, prospective gated 64-channel cardiac CT, has a significantly lower radiation dose and produces CT coronary angiograms with better image quality when compared with the ...

Prospective electrocardiogram (ECG) gating can significantly reduce the patient radiation dose delivered during computed tomography (CT) angiography, suggests a new study. Computed tomography (CT) ...

Robotic C-arm cone-beam CT (CBCT) provides an indispensable tool for guiding interventional cardiac surgical procedures. CBCT is also valuable within radiotherapy, providing 3D images immediately ...
