In vivo visualisation of the coronary arteries was first introduced by de Mason Sones in the 1950s. Selective invasive coronary angiography (CA) has significantly increased our understanding and management of coronary atherosclerosis and has precisely delineated coronary stenoses, which was a prerequisite for the development of coronary revascularisation techniques. However, it was almost 10… View more

Since 1999, cardiac computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) has evolved into the most innovative approach to cardiac imaging to emerge in over 30 years. The adoption and application of this remarkable technology represents a true revolution in the evaluation of patients for cardiac problems. The evaluation of patients with potential cardiac problems traditionally uses a variety of non-invasive or… View more

Atherosclerosis is a generalised disease and contributes to cardiac death, stroke, limb loss and a range of other illnesses. Disease in the major arteries, including the infra-renal abdominal aorta, internal iliac arteries, renal arteries and peripheral vasculature, remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality. For example, the prevalence of disease in the infra-renal abdominal aorta ranges… View more

Protocol Fundamentals for Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography
Author(s): Frank J Rybicki Added: 3 years ago
Most advances in cardiac computed tomography (CT), particularly coronary CT angiography (CTA), have come from the development of protocols consistent with rapid incremental improvements in CT technology. The evolution of cardiac CT from early technology has been paralleled with evolving protocols that have extended cardiac CT beyond the imaging of coronary arteries alone: current applications… View more
