Personalised 3D printed models created from cardiac imaging data, mainly from cardiac CT images have been increasingly used in cardiovascular disease, primarily in the preoperative planning and ...

Ultrasound demonstrated a strong correlation and agreement with CT in assessing the diameter of the ascending aorta in patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA), supporting its use as an effective ...

The aorta is the main blood vessel that carries oxygen-filled blood from the heart to the rest of the body. It extends from the chest to the abdomen, where it branches (bifurcates) into the iliac ...

Your aorta is a tube-like structure that resembles a candy cane. The thoracoabdominal aorta starts after the curve of the cane and extends past the arteries that deliver blood to the stomach, ...

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Use of a dedicated patient-specific computer model, derived from CT imaging, to evaluate patients with bicuspid aortic stenosis can identify those best suited for TAVR and those who ...

First-generation dual-source photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) enables high-quality aortoiliac imaging using minimal iodine contrast (total iodine dose, 9.5-9.8 g) at 40 keV, significantly ...

PARIS, France—A new model for foreseeing small annulus size at the point of referral to an aortic service could give heart teams a more succinct way to determine which cases merit CT and potentially ...
