Coronary artery calcium scanning (CAC) has emerged as the most robust predictor of
coronary events in the asymptomatic primary prevention population, particularly in the …

This scientific statement reviews the scientific data for cardiac computed tomography (CT)
related to imaging of coronary artery disease (CAD) and atherosclerosis. Cardiac CT is a CT …

We present a performance evaluation of a recently introduced dual-source computed
tomography (DSCT) system equipped with two X-ray tubes and two corresponding …

Objectives: In this study, we systematically assessed the diagnostic and prognostic value of
absence of coronary artery calcification (CAC) in asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals …

The study of atherosclerotic disease during its natural history and after therapeutic
intervention will enhance our understanding of disease progression and regression and aid …

Our objective was to evaluate image quality and radiation exposure of retrospectively ECG-
gated multislice helical CT (MSCT) investigations of the heart with ECG-controlled tube …

Coronary calcification has long been known to occur as a part of the atherosclerotic process,
although whether it is a marker of plaque stability or instability is still a topic of considerable …

PURPOSE: To measure the effective radiation doses delivered at electron-beam computed
tomography (CT) and multi–detector row spiral CT of coronary arteries and to compare these …

observational follow-up of the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) type 1 …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness of electrocardiographically (ECG)-gated
retrospective image reconstruction for multi–detector row computed tomographic (CT) …
