Journal ArticleDOI

Estimated Radiation Dose Associated With Cardiac CT Angiography

TL;DR: In this article, a cross-sectional, international, multicenter, observational study was conducted to estimate the radiation dose of CCTA in routine clinical practice as well as the association of currently available strategies with dose reduction.
Journal Article

Estimated Radiation Dose Associated With Cardiac CT Angiography. Commentary

TL;DR: The comparable diagnostic image quality of CCTA may support an increased use of dose-saving strategies in adequately selected patients and effective strategies to reduce radiation dose are available but some strategies are not frequently used.
Journal ArticleDOI

Radiation dose estimates from cardiac multislice computed tomography in daily practice: impact of different scanning protocols on effective dose estimates.

TL;DR: The increase in spatial and temporal resolution with 64-slice CTA is associated with an increased radiation dose for coronary CTA and dose-saving algorithms are very effective in reducing radiation exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic Value of Coronary Computed Tomographic Angiography for Prediction of Cardiac Events in Patients With Suspected Coronary Artery Disease

TL;DR: In patients with suspected CAD, CCTA has a significant prognostic impact on the prediction of cardiac events for the subsequent 18 months, and identifies a patient population with an event risk lower than predicted by conventional risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Image quality and radiation exposure with a low tube voltage protocol for coronary CT angiography results of the PROTECTION II Trial.

TL;DR: A coronary CTA protocol using 100 kVp tube voltage maintained image quality, but reduced radiation exposure by 31% as compared with the standard 120 kVP protocol, which should be considered for nonobese patients to keep radiation exposure as low as reasonably achievable.
