HeartView CT
Coronary CTA
This is an application for imaging of the coronary
arteries with contrast medium. It can be performed
with both ECG triggering and gating techniques. The
following scan protocols are predefined:
• CoronaryStd
– Standard spiral scanning protocol with ECG gating,
using a rotation time of 0.42 seconds.
• CoronaryStd0.5s
– Standard spiral scanning protocol with ECG gating,
using a rotation time of 0.5 seconds.
• CorStd_LowHeartRate
– Special spiral scanning protocol with ECG gating,
using a 0.42 second rotation time, for patients with
a heart rate below 50 bpm.
• CoronaryCARE
– Spiral scanning protocol with rotation time
0.42 s and dedicated cardiac filter (Cardio CARE)
which reduces image noise thus makes dose
reduction possible.
• CoronaryCARE0.5s
– Spiral scanning protocol with rotation time
0.5 s, and dedicated cardiac filter (Cardio CARE)
which reduces image noise thus makes dose
reduction possible.
• CoronarySharp
– Spiral scanning protocol with rotation time
0.42 s and dedicated reconstruction kernel for better
edge definition in coronary artery imaging.
• CoronarySharp0.5s
– Spiral scanning protocol with rotation time
0.5 s and dedicated reconstruction kernel for better
edge definition in coronary artery imaging.
• ECGTrigCTA
– Sequential scanning protocol with ECG triggering,
using a rotation time of 0.42 s.
