CT is increasingly being used for evaluating the cardiovascular structures and airways in the
patients with congenital heart disease. Multi-slice CT has traditionally been used for the …

Deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are the two aspects of venous thrombo-
embolism. Investigation of lower limb veins has been part of various diagnostic algorithms in …

T he use of CT has become routine practice in the evaluation of lung metastases. The
finding of pulmonary nodules, often regarded as metastases, usually substantially changes …

Background Tracheomalacia is characterized by excessive expiratory collapse of the
trachea. Objective To investigate the accuracy of free-breathing cine CT for diagnosis of …

Pulmonary nodules, when they are small, may be difficult to be identified on chest
radiography. However, pulmonary nodules are not infrequently incidentally detected on …

Objective Cardiac and respiratory motion artifacts degrade the image quality of lung CT in
free-breathing children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of combined …

Rationale and Objectives To evaluate the potential of high-pitch, dual-source computed
tomography (DSCT) for compensation of motion artifacts. Materials and Methods Motion …

The goals of tumor imaging include tumor detection, tumor characterization and differential
diagnosis, imaging-guided biopsy, evaluation of tumor extent and staging, assessment of …

Purpose To compare the radiation dose and image quality, focused mainly on cardiac
pulsation artifact, between high-pitch low-dose chest computed tomography (HP-LDCT) and …

Purpose: To evaluate the frequency and severity of cardiac motion artifacts on high-pitch,
dual-source computed tomography angiograms of the chest. Materials and Methods: One …
