TY - JOUR T1 - The dynamics of an ascending aorta dissection by 16 row multislice computed tomography JF - Heart JO - Heart SP - 970 LP - 970 DO - 10.1136/heart.89.9.970 VL - 89 IS - 9 AU - F Cademartiri AU - K Nieman AU - N R Mollet Y1 - 2003/09/01 UR - http://heart.bmj.com/content/89/9/970.abstract N2 - A 65 year old man was referred for follow up of a dissected ascending aorta. The study was performed with a 16 slice spiral computed tomography scanner (Sensation 16, Siemens, Germany) after the intravenous administration of 100 ml of iodinated contrast material with the following protocol: detector collimation 12 × 1.5 mm, rotation time 0.42 s, scan time 19 s. The scan was retrospectively reconstructed using the ECG track to create iso-cardio-phasic datasets. Main datasets were reconstructed in the diastolic phase and systolic … ER -
