Clinical applications of cardiac CT

The role of echocardiography and CT in the diagnosis of cardiac tumors

“…However, the relatively Mug scarming times, of first generation CT scanners, resulted in lfmited utility for cardiac imaging secondary to motion artifact. More recently, ultrafast CT scanners have been introduced that are capable of 30-50msec scan times with excellent density resolution, allowing for improved imaging [4]. However, even standard third-and fourth-generation CT scanners are capable of acquiring excellent cardiac images in under 5 seconds.…”
