The high quality of the 3DVR and axial cross-section images acquired with the Innova 3D acquisition gives a very good anatomical and diagnostic information on the dissection and vessel wall (re-entry) in planning an eventual endovascular treatment.

Follow-up exams such as ultrasounds can be used to determine the presence of certain abnormalities, but can be limited in their diagnostic capability. Prospective cardiac CT helps to have a complete anatomical assessment of the coronaries and the aorta at very low dose.

Cardiac CT can provide information to help rule out evaluation of cardiac masses such as tumors and thrombi. High-definition imaging of these structures produces surgically-relevant information and at the same time, can rule out coronary disease at very low dose.


Follow-up For Post-MI Stent Patient

Low dose cardiac CT scanning with prospective SnapShot Pulse acquisition helps in more regular patient follow-up. Increased spatial resolution helps in better assessment in challenging cases involving stents.


Triple vessel coronary disease

This case shows that quantification of myocardial perfusion in absolute terms gives important additional information. In this case with balanced three-vessel coronary disease analysis of relative perfusion failed to detect any abnormalities. However, severe reduction in all vessel regions were detected in quantitative assessment of myocardial perfusion.
