Article Abstract

Background And Purpose: We assessed the feasibility of obtaining diagnostic quality images of the heart and thoracic aorta by extending the axis coverage of a non-ECG-gated computed tomographic angiogram performed in the primary evaluation of acute stroke without increasing the contrast dose.

Methods: Twenty consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke within the 4.5 hours of symptom onset were prospectively recruited. We increased the longitudinal coverage to the domes of the diaphragm to include the heart. Contrast administration (Omnipaque 350) remained unchanged (injected at 3-4 mL/s; total 60-80 mL, triggered by bolus tracking). Images of the heart and aorta, reconstructed at 5 mm slice thickness in 3 orthogonal planes, were read by a radiologist and cardiologist, findings conveyed to the treating neurologist, and correlated with the transthoracic or transesophageal echocardiogram performed within the next 24 hours.

Results: Of 20 patients studied, 3 (15%) had abnormal findings: a left ventricular thrombus, a Stanford type A aortic dissection, and a thrombus of the left atrial appendage. Both thrombi were confirmed by transesophageal echocardiography, and anticoagulation was started urgently the following day. None of the patients developed contrast-induced nephropathy on follow-up. The radiation dose was slightly increased from a mean of 4.26 mSV (range, 3.88-4.70 mSV) to 5.17 (range, 3.95 to 6.25 mSV).

Conclusions: Including the heart and ascending aorta in a routine non-ECG-gated computed tomographic angiogram enhances an existing imaging modality, with no increased incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy and minimal increase in radiation dose. This may help in the detection of high-risk cardiac and aortic sources of embolism in acute stroke patients.

Background And Objective: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower limbs is a critical global vascular disease. Accurately assessing and predicting the efficacy of DVT treatment remains a significant challenge due to a lack of understanding of the mechanisms by which the level of patient-specific embolization and the rate of drug injection affect thrombolytic therapy.

Methods: In this study, we used the computed tomographic venography (CTV) clinical method to obtain patient-specific parameters, and the flow-solid interaction (FSI) method combined with biochemical response modeling of thrombolysis to analyze patient-specific hemodynamic and biomechanical characteristics and to quantitatively assess the effects of three vessel embolism levels (VEL) versus two drug injection rates (DIR) on bifurcated femoral venous thrombolytic therapy.

Background: The composite physiologic index (CPI) was developed to estimate the extent of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients based on pulmonary function tests (PFTs). The CALIPER-revised version of the CPI (CALIPER-CPI) was also developed to estimate the volume fraction of ILD measured by CALIPER, an automated quantitative CT postprocessing software. Recently, artificial intelligence-based quantitative CT image analysis software (AIQCT), which can be used to quantify the bronchial volume separately from the ILD volume, was developed and validated in IPF.

Background: Schatzker type-4 to 6 tibial plateau fractures most commonly occur when the distal femur is driven through the proximal tibial articular surface. This mechanism of injury can be equivalent to a knee dislocation and carries an increased risk of vascular injury. Our institution screens all Schatzker type-4 to 6 tibial plateau fractures with symmetric pulses for a vascular injury by measuring the ankle-brachial index (ABI).

Background: Arrhythmias originating from papillary muscles (PAPs) can be challenging when targeted with catheter ablation. The prevalence and impact of structural abnormalities on PAPs in patients with focal PAP arrhythmias is unknown.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze, in a consecutive patient series with focal PAP arrhythmias, the impact of structural abnormalities detected by multimodality imaging.

Introduction: To compare the efficacy of laser activated and sonic activated irrigation on the removal of debris in mesial root canal systems of mandibular molars using micro-computed tomographic (micro-CT) analysis.

Methods: Forty-eight mesial roots of extracted mandibular molars with isthmus were selected and randomly allocated into two groups: Sonic Group and Laser Group. The root canals were minimally instrumented to a maximum apical file size of 20/06v (DCTaper, SSWhite, NJ).
