Automatic vs manual coronary CT angiography reconstruction for whole-heart coverage CT scanner: a comparison study in general patient population.

Background: Due to the limited temporal resolution and cardiac motion, coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) exam is one of the most challenging CT protocols which may require operating radiologist to apply additional phase adjustment or motion correction for image reconstruction.

Objective: To evaluate image quality between automatic and manual CCTA reconstruction in a 0.25 second rotation time, 16 cm coverage, single-beat, CT scanner with automated phase selection and AI-assisted motion correction.

Image quality of automatic coronary CT angiography reconstruction for patients with HR ≥ 75 bpm using an AI-assisted 16-cm z-coverage CT scanner.

Background: Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) is a complicated CT exam in comparison to other CT protocols. Exam success highly depends on image assessment of experienced radiologist and the procedure is often time-consuming. This study aims to evaluate feasibility of automatic CCTA reconstruction in 0.

The effect of combined application of Streptomyces rubrogriseus HDZ-9-47 with soil biofumigation on soil microbial and nematode communities.

Meloidogyne incognita causes significant damage to many different crops. Previous studies showed that Streptomyces rubrogriseus HDZ-9-47 is a promising biocontrol agent. Combining it with biofumigation improved its efficacy against M.

Correlation of coronary atherosclerosis and subclinical plaque phenotype of carotid artery: a 320-row multidetector computed tomographic angiography study.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between coronary atherosclerosis and the phenotype of subclinical carotid artery plaque using 320-row computed tomography via an original single-injection protocol.

Methods: A total of 122 patients with suspected coronary artery disease but free of transient ischemic attack and stroke underwent computed tomographic angiography of carotid and coronary artery simultaneously. The mean attenuation was measured at each artery.
