Title: | Image quality in coronary CT angiography: challenges and technical solutions | Authors: | GHEKIERE, Olivier Salgado, Rodrigo Buls, Nico Leiner, Tim Mancini, Isabelle Vanhoenacker, Piet DENDALE, Paul Nchimi, Alain |
Issue Date: | 2017 | Publisher: | BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY | Source: | BRITISH JOURNAL OF RADIOLOGY, 90(1072) | Status: | In press | Abstract: | Multidetector CT angiography (CTA) has become a widely accepted examination for non-invasive evaluation of the heart and coronary arteries. Despite its ongoing success and worldwide clinical implementation, it remains an often-challenging procedure in which image quality, and hence diagnostic value, is determined by both technical and patient-related factors. Thorough knowledge of these factors is important to obtain high-quality examinations. In this review, we discuss several key elements that may adversely affect coronary CTA image quality as well as potential measures that can be taken to mitigate their impact. In addition, several recent vendor-specific advances and future directions to improve image quality are discussed. | Notes: | [Ghekiere, Olivier; Mancini, Isabelle] CHC, Dept Radiol, Liege, Belgium.
