Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Cardiac CT angiography (CCTA) has become a frequently used diagnostic tool in clinical practice, but concern remains about the radiation exposure. Because of the second x-ray acquisition system, dual-source CT systems might allow for high-pitch CT data acquisition and thus for examination of the whole heart during a single heart beat, with the potential for radiation dose reduction. OBJECTIVE: We assessed the feasibility of a high-pitch scan mode with a dual-source CT system. METHODS...     »
