Cardiac (for calcium scoring): 3 mSv, equal to about 1 year of background radiation Sometimes, you need a separate CT scan with an added substance called “contrast.” This helps some parts of your body show up more clearly on the images. You might need to drink it as a liquid or ge...
Application features N/S N/S FIT (full iterative technology) for PET and SPECT; co-planar SPECT/CT; Astonish low-dose imaging with PET-like resolution Cardiac and general purpose SPECT/CT applications, calcium scoring, attenuation correction using fast diagnostic quality CT attenuation map.

resolution in the z direction. Because of the uniform and continuous z direction resolution: (a) there is a very low probability that coronary calcification is missed; and, (b) the heart is reconstructed in 3D and, hence, a more accurate cardiac scoring algorithm base on 3D measurements is ...
Non-contrast CT calcium scoring is cheaper and biologically safer than CTA (even more if compared with iCA) for both being non-invasive and implying only trivial radiation. The implementation of this hypothetical flow-chart (Fig. 9) derived from our dataset to optimize the diagnostic process ...
There was a significant dose–response relationship between the occurrence of hypertension, as well as cardiac disease, and the severity of the TOR. The need for hospitalization, supplemental oxygen, and use of the ICU ward was significantly different across the TOR severity categories. The usage ...
CALIPER-derived parameters have been shown to be associated with IPF disease progression [17], and were more accurate than visual CT scoring in IPF mortality prediction and prognostication [18,19]. Hyperpolarised gas diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) with inhaled helium-3 (3He) or xenon-129 (...
