Quality of visualization of coronary venous system in 64-slice computed tomography.
Journal Title: Cardiology Journal - Year 2011, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
Multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) can be used to visualize the anatomy of the coronary venous system (CVS). A pre-procedural evaluation of target veins is a very important element of cardiac resynchronization. Thus, the quality of visualization of the CVS is of great importance. The aim of this study was to analyze the quality of visualization of CVS in MSCT.
