Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in adults, accounting for more than 480,000 deaths in the US and 1.95 million deaths in Europe each year. There is considerable interest in early diagnosis of CAD, because obstructive coronary artery disease can exist with minimal or no symptoms and can progress rapidly. In patients with symptoms suggestive of CAD, a variety of tests and… View more

Introduction The heart is a dynamic organ and places special demands on three-dimensional (3-D) techniques. To understand its physiology and pathophysiology, not only the spatial distribution of its structures is important but also their movement during the cardiac cycles. Previous approaches to 3-D echocardiography (3-DE) were offline and based on sequential rotational scanning and acquisition… View more

Over the last few decades, the rapid development of cardiac computed tomography (CT) has been unequalled by any other imaging technique. The driving forces behind cardiac multidetector-row CT (MDCT) are the enormous socioeconomic relevance of coronary artery disease (CAD) and the need for comprehensive, reliable and reproducible diagnostic tests that overcome the morbidity and mortality of… View more

Since its introduction into medical imaging in the 1970s,1 computed tomography (CT) has significantly contributed to novel diagnostic approaches in a wide variety of clinical conditions across multiple medical specialities. However, increased use has also been associated with a significant increase in radiation exposure, with uncertain long-term implications.2,3 Cardiovascular multidetector… View more
