CoronaryCTA
Aortic and Pulmonary Studies
The purpose of these applications is to reduce
motion artifacts in the lung, the aorta and the pulmo-
nary arteries due to transmitted cardiac pulsation. It is
intended for imaging the aorta and pulmonary arteries
with contrast medium and ECG-triggered sequential
scanning or ECG-gated spiral scanning, e. g. for aortic
dissection or pulmonary emboli. A special protocol is
available for high-resolution interstitial lung studies
with ECG-triggered sequential scanning. The following
scan protocols are predefined:
• ThorAngioECG06s/05s/042s/037s
– Spiral scanning protocol with ECG-gating.
• ThorAngioECGSeq
– Sequential scanning protocol with ECG triggering.
• ThoraxECGHRSeq
– Sequential scanning protocol with ECG triggering
for high resolution studies.
