64 Multi slice CT angiography

Introduction

The aim and objective of this research paper is to analyze the role of multi slice CT angiography 64 in accurate diagnosis of Coronary artery disease. Coronary heart disease is a major problem in internal diseases, in materials characterized by the WHO as an epidemic of the twentieth century. The reason for this was an increased incidence of coronary heart disease in people of different age groups, a high percentage of disability, as well as the fact that it is one of the leading causes of mortality.

Coronary heart disease basically refers to a disease which is caused by the narrowing of coronary arteries. This disease is usually caused by atherosclerosis. This is basically referred to the building up of fatty deposits and cholesterol on the inner walls of arteries (Fishman, 2005). This is also called clogging or hardening of arteries. Currently, coronary heart disease in the world is regarded as a distinct disease and is included in the International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Injuries and Causes of Death. Study of coronary heart disease has almost two centuries. To date, the accumulated wealth of factual material, indicating its polymorphism (EAS Task Force for Prevention of Coronary Heart Disease, 1992, pp.113). This allowed distinguishing several forms of heart disease and some variants of its flow.

Multi Slice CT angiography 64

The emergence of multi slice CT angiography has brought a revolution in the field og Cardiology and has reflected immense potential in the techniques of imaging of cardiovascular disease. It plays pivotal role in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease among the heart patients. This new innovation in the cardiac field is very efficient in accurate diagnosis of Coronary Heart Disease. The multi slice CT angiography is equipped with latest technology and its previous range of $ slice has reached up to 64-slice. The new technological developments has improved spatial and temporal resolution and possess retrospective ECG-gating along with the volume data for radiation dose. This new technique in the machine can be used for post processing or reconstructions. (Fishman, 2005). Considering the existing trend of using prospective ECG-gating in cardiac imaging along with the updated multi slice CT scanners has advantage of reducing the radiation dose. Thus, it has proved very effective in diagnosing Coronary artery diseases among the heart patients. The literature review of this research will explain the significance od multi slice angiography in the diagnosis of coronary artery diseases among the heart patients and explore the future directions of multi slice CT angiography in cardiac imaging. Coronary CT angiogram is playing important roles in detection of the coronary artery disease. The new generation of CT helps to get the images of the heart and more specifically coronary arteries (Kroft, et.al, 2007).
