形态学上中间冠状动脉狭窄和无法解释的图像可能导致结果不确定,需要使用无创心肌灌注成像方式进行进一步评估,例如单光子发射计算机断层扫描 (SPECT)、正电子发射断层扫描、磁共振 (MR) 成像,并最终将侵入性导管冠状动脉造影与流量储备分数 (FFR的测量。 Current and Novel Imaging Techniques of Coronary CT冠状动脉CT的现...
Artificial Intelligence Can Evaluate Cardiovascular Risk During CT Scan April 23, 2024 — A recent study designed and implemented by investigators at Cedars-Sinai found that artificial ... April 23, 2024 News | Computed Tomography (CT) Novel CT Exam Reduces Need for Invasive Artery Treatment Ap...
The results demonstrate that automatic analysis of the LV myocardium in a single CCTA scan acquired at rest, without assessment of the anatomy of the coronary arteries, can be used to identify patients with functionally significant coronary artery stenosis....
A HeartFlowFFR-CT example showingcomparison with a CT scan of heavily calcified coronary arteries. The lesion looks severe anatomically on CT, but it not significant enough to qualify for stenting according to the FFR-CT. The CT imaging is sent to an outside vendor so it can be run through...

(www.paraview.org). It was smoothed and meshed with tetrahedral elements usingMeshmixer(www.meshmixer.com) andTetGen67, respectively. Finally, the MBF values at each voxel of the MPICTscan were interpolated on to the nodes of the LV mesh, making sure the total MBF was equal between the...
These results potentially extend the application of AI CAC score stratification and benefit to a patient who undergoes a chest CT scan for different clinical indications. Sandsted et al. [14] evaluated the performance of an AI algorithm for the quantification of the Agatston score, the volume ...
Member's most recent CAC scan was at least 5 years ago; and Discovery of coronary calcium would change management. Aetna considers calcium scoring by means of low-dose CT angiography medically necessary for persons who meet criteria for diagnostic cardiac CT angiography to assess whether an adequat...

MDCT stress–rest protocol was performed as previously published, with the addition of a low-radiation scan for CTDE detection (Fig. 2) (8). All scans were performed using a Somatom Sensation 64 scanner (Siemens Medical Solutions, Forchheim, Germany) with no pre-test medication. The comprehens...
