NCT02171247

Brief Summary

Computed Tomography Angiogram (CTA) scans are performed routinely to look at the vessels in the body as an alternative to directly injecting contrast into the vessels and taking pictures. Different types of intravenous (into the vein, IV) contrast are available to fill the vessels and make them easier to see. The purpose of the study is to determine the best type of contrast for this scan.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Contrast to Noise Ratio

    Contrast-to-noise ratios (CNRs) were calculated as follows: CNR = (vascular attenuation - myocardium attenuation) / SD of mean noise attenuation.

    during scan, approximately 3 hours

  • Image Quality

    Depiction of Branch Vessels - coronary branch depiction was performed as consensus decisions of two blinded radiologists. Criteria used was abscence or presence of vessels.

    during scan, approximately 3 hours

  • Motion Artifact

    The outcome will be measured by individual scores. The scores from multiple readers will be averaged.

    during scan, approximately 3 hours

  • Attenuation of the Ascending Aorta and Coronary Arteries

    The investigator will measure the length of visualized coronary artery for the left anterior descending, left circumflex and right coronary arteries as a way of quantifying visualization of distal coronary segments.

    during scan, approximately 3 hours
