Dual-source coronary CTA detects reduction in lumen diameter
Even in patients with high heart rates, dual-source coronary CT angiography (CTA) provides accurate detection of significant lesions, according to a preliminary study by Dutch investigators. One reason for dual-source CTA's success is technical advancements in the equipment, said the group from Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

ACC study: Dual-source cardiac CT delivers acceptable radiation dose
NEW ORLEANS - The radiation dose from dual-source CT (DSCT) is no more than that of single-source CT, according to a presentation this week at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) meeting. However, DSCT is not an option for patients with severe arrhythmia or a heart rate less than or equal to 55 beats per minute (bpm), they stressed.
