LV volume quantification in cardiac multislice spiral CT is improved by enhanced resolution
June 23rd, 2006
Enhanced temporal resolution improves the quantification of left ventricular (LV) volumes in cardiac multislice spiral computed tomography (CT), enabling reliable assessment of LV volumes even at increased heart rates. According to a study from Germany, "We sought to investigate the influence of heart rate and temporal resolution on the assessment of left-ventricular (LV) function with multislice spiral computed tomography (CT)." A.H. Mahnken and colleagues at Aachen University wrote, "A dynamic cardiac phantom was repeatedly scanned with a 64-slice CT scanner using a standardized scan protocol (64 X 0.6 mm, 120kV, 770mAseff , 330...
