Coronary computed tomography angiography with model-based iterative reconstruction using a radiation exposure similar to chest X-ray examination

TL;DR: Coronary computed tomography angiography acquisition with diagnostic image quality is feasible at an ultra-low radiation dose of 0.21 mSv, e.g. in the range reported for a postero-anterior and lateral chest X-ray.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accuracy of coronary CT angiography using a submillisievert fraction of radiation exposure: comparison with invasive coronary angiography.

TL;DR: The use of MBIR reconstruction allows accurate noninvasive diagnosis of CAD with CTA at a submillisievert fraction of effective radiation dose comparable with a chest x-ray in 2 views.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of a New Motion-Correction Algorithm on Image Quality of Low-Dose Coronary CT Angiography in Patients with Insufficient Heart Rate Control

TL;DR: A novel, vendor-specific, motion-corrected, reconstruction algorithm improves image quality and interpretability of prospectively ECG-triggered low-dose CCTA despite insufficient heart rate control.
Journal ArticleDOI

First experience with single-source, dual-energy CCTA for monochromatic stent imaging.

TL;DR: Monochromatic CCTA can be used reliably in patients with coronary stents, however, reconstructions with energies below 80 keV are not recommended as the blooming artefacts are most pronounced at such low energies, resulting in up to 90% stent diameter underestimation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coronary artery calcium quantification from contrast enhanced CT using gemstone spectral imaging and material decomposition

TL;DR: To explore the feasibility of coronary artery calcium (CAC) measurement from low-dose contrast enhanced coronary CT angiography (CCTA) as this may obviate the need for an unenhanced CT scan, single-source dual-energy scanning with GSI allows CAC quantification from low dose contrast enhanced CCTA by virtual iodine contrast subtraction.
