Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine clinical and MRI features in patients with isolated left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC).
- A total of 31 patients (mostly males in their late 30s) were assessed using MRI, which revealed high levels of palpitations, abnormal EKGs, and significant left ventricular segment involvement.
- MRI proved effective for diagnosing and evaluating the severity of LVNC, highlighting the importance of this imaging technique in cardiac assessments.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical significance of electron beam computerized tomography (EBCT) in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE).
Methods: EBCT was performed before March 2004 in 114 consecutive patients with clinically suspected pulmonary vascular diseases, including 76 patients with PTE, 29 with pulmonary arteritis, 5 with primary pulmonary arterial tumor, and 4 with pulmonary arterial invasion by lung or mediastinal carcinoma. EBCT was performed using Imatron C-150 scanner with enhanced continuum volume scan (CVS).
