Dual-energy CT has remained underutilized over the past decade probably due to a
cumbersome workflow issue and current technical limitations. Clinical radiologists should be …

Multienergy CT involves acquisition of two or more CT measurements with distinct energy
spectra. Using the differential attenuation of tissues and materials at different x-ray energies …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke are important major health problems that share common risk
factors and frequently coexist. Left atrial (LA) remodeling is an important underlying …

Background—Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) is considered the gold standard
modality in detecting left atrial/LA appendage (LA/LAA) thrombi. However, this is a semi …

Photon-counting detector (PCD) CT is an emerging technology that has led to continued
innovation and progress in diagnostic imaging after it was approved by the US Food and …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinically relevant cardiac arrhythmia. The
estimated prevalence in the general population is 1–2% and increases with age. 1–8 …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an important cause of stroke. Given the morbidity and
mortality associated with stroke, the risk stratification of patients based on left atrial …

Left atrial imaging and detailed knowledge of its pathophysiology, especially in the context
of heart failure, have become an increasingly important clinical and research focus. This …

Objectives The current reference standard for diagnosing LAA thrombi is transesophageal
echocardiography (TEE), a semi-invasive technique. We aimed to devise an optimal …
