Mashup Score: 28Modern CT Detector Technology and Innovations in Image Reconstruction Enhance Cardiovascular CT - 5 day(s) ago
Most advances in computed tomography (CT) scanner technology have been stimulated by the demand of higher spatial resolution and increased signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) required to image the coronary arteries. Innovations in CT detector technology and reconstruction techniques have been driven by these demands.

Mashup Score: 3Imaging Spectrum of Valvular and Paravalvular Complications of Prosthetic Heart Valve at CT Angiography - 11 month(s) ago
Prosthetic heart valve (PHV) dysfunction is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening condition. In routine practice, transthoracic echocardiography and cinefluoroscopy comprise first-line imaging for the diagnostic evaluation of PHV dysfunction. In cases in which the findings of echocardiography and cinefluoroscopy remain inconclusive or are contradictory, CT angiography can resolve these conflicts. CT angiography also provides incremental diagnostic information about patients with suspected PHV obstruction and endocarditis, in which case it can demonstrate the anatomic substrate and extent of involvement. Additionally, information regarding the coronary arteries, cardiac dimensions, and retrosternal space may be obtained in cases in which repeat surgery is planned. This imaging essay describes the imaging spectrum of valvular and paravalvular complications of PHV at CT angiography and how the knowledge regarding the spectrum of complications can be incorporated into multimodality
