We have expert readers able to perform complex analyses on your cardiac CT datasets using workstations and software from all major vendors.
- Five to ten certified readers
- State-of-the-art software, with all major vendors present
Specific Assessment Techniques:
1. Non-Contrast Cardiac CT
- Quantification of Coronary Artery Calcification per plaque and per patient
- Agatston Score
- Area and Volume
- Mean Calcium Concentration and Mineral Mass
- Quantification of Aortic and Mitral Valve Calcification
- Quantification of Aortic Calcification (thoracic and abdominal aorta)
2. Contrast Enhanced Cardiac CT – Stenosis and Plaque
- Qualitative Assessment of the presence of significant coronary artery stenosis (all segments)
- Quantitative Assessment of the degree of stenosis (in %, in segments >2mm)
- Qualitative Assessment of the presence and morphology of coronary atherosclerotic plaque (per segment, calcified vs. non-calcified plaque, all segments)
- Quantitative Assessment of area and volume of coronary atherosclerotic plaque (coronary artery > 3mm)
- Quantitative Assessment of CT attenuation of non-calcified coronary atherosclerotic plaque (coronary artery > 3mm)
- Quantitative Assessment of coronary plaque remodeling (Remodeling index, coronary artery > 3mm)
3. Contrast Enhanced Cardiac CT –
Left Ventricular (LV) Function and Perfusion
- Qualitative Assessment of global and regional (17 segments) LV rest function
- Quantitative Assessment of global LV function (ejection fraction in %, end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes in ml) and LV myocardial mass (in g)
- Qualitative and quantitative assessment of perfusion defects
- Qualitative and quantitative assessment of infarct size (in % of total LV myocardium and cm3)
4. Incidental Findings
- Identification and reporting of Incidental Findings (full field of view – thorax)
