Mar 5, 2025 · e-Anatomy delivers a high quality anatomy and imaging content atlas. It is the most complete reference of human anatomy available on the Web, iOS and Android devices. Pinpoints Detailed Views Across Anatomical Regions & Modalities (CT, MRI, Radiographs), Anatomic diagrams and nuclear images.

In this interactive anatomy atlas of the human heart, the anatomical structures are visible on a contrast material–enhanced computed tomography (CT) of the heart and coronary arteries. A cardiac contrast material–enhanced computed tomography (CT – 64 detectors) was performed on a healthy subject.

Oct 14, 2008 · The left coronary artery (LCA) is also known as the left main. The LCA arises from the left coronary cusp. The aortic valve has three leaflets, each having a cusp or cup-like configuration. These are known as the left coronary cusp (L), the right coronary cusp (R) and the posterior non-coronary cusp (N).

Nov 23, 2012 · Recent advances in CT technology allow noninvasive coronary CT angiography (CTA) and left ventricular (LV) functional assessment. Since its introduction, coronary CTA has become increasingly accepted as a quick and safe noninvasive coronary artery evaluation tool.

May 7, 2024 · Coronary CT angiography (cCTA) is performed as it contains data about coronary and cardiac anatomy. cCTA protocols allow for significant dose reductions with reported mean sub-millisievert doses. However, each examination must be tailored to each patient depending on patient characteristics and clinical indications.

Nov 23, 2012 · Coronary CTA can both visualize and determine the extent of CAD in patients with normal traditional noninvasive tests, suggesting a role for screening if aggressive disease management can reduce the rate of cardiac events and cardiac mortality.

Dec 26, 2015 · Properly performed, coronary CT angiography provides high spatial resolution, three-dimensional data for detailed visualization of the coronary arteries, which are typically small, and rapidly moving, and have tortuous and complex anatomic arrangements.

Nov 23, 2012 · Contrast-enhanced CT angiography (CTA) of the coronary arteries is becoming feasible as temporal and spatial resolution improves with the availability of MDCT.

Reliable interpretation of coronary angiography by CCTA requires a sophisticated understanding of: normal coronary artery (CA) and cardiac anatomy; the pathophysiology of coronary atherosclerosis and other abnormalities, including congenital anomalies; the characteristic appearance of CA and cardiac lesions on CCTA with and without contrast ...

6.4 Indications for and utility of coronary CTA in coronary artery disease 1/ Stable coronary artery disease (suspicion of) 2/ Acute chest pain Practical issues of cardiac CT in the ED Triple rule out technique Patient selection 3/ Detection of occult coronary artery disease (prior to surgery)
