Patients were placed in the supine position, ECG leads were attached to the paws, and ECG was recorded simultaneously during spiral MDCT examination.
They have all been submitted to two yearly consecutive low-dose spiral CT chest examination (140 kVp, 40 mA, 2 : 1 pitch, with a slice thickness of 10 mm. Effective dose equivalent to patient was estimated 0.7 mSv).
The photo sends him into a spiral of self-examination about the nature of his reality.
However, in a study of four dogs presenting lung metastases of osteosarcoma confirmed by plain thoracic radiographic examination, the spiral CT did not detect 32 metastases measuring ≤1 cm in diameter [ 10].
When a follow-up examination discovered the spiral fracture, the Dodgers placed a 10- to 14-week timetable on his return.
A more in-depth examination revealed that spiral arteries generated in the absence of MCs displayed reduced lumen diameter and a higher wall/lumen ratio compared with those of wild-type mice.
All centres used spiral multidetector CT, with 45 examinations (38·8 per cent) being performed on 16-slice CT and 68 (58·6 per cent) on CT with 64 slices or more.
The CT examination was performed using a spiral technique with 3- to 5-mm thickness.
CT examinations have been made using spiral technique, in transverse plane, in layers of 0.5 mm in thickness, using 64 row TOSHIBA Aquilion apparatus (Toshiba, Tokyo, Japan), in accordance with the standard diagnostic protocol for head examination.
To evaluate the feasibility of lung cancer screening using low-dose spiral CT as a part of annual health examinations.
Uptake time from tracer injection to onset of emission scan was aimed at 60 ± 10% min. The multidetector spiral CT scans were standard diagnostic contrast-enhanced examinations covering the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis.
