摘要
Eight male heart transplant recipients underwent contrast material-enhanced electron-beam computed tomographic angiography. Coronary artery diameters measured with fixed thresholds and adaptive line density profile (LDP) methods were calculated relative to findings at quantitative coronary angiography. Variation with fixed-threshold methods was significantly greater than that with LDP methods because of variations in vessel enhancement. Thus, more accurate measurements of vessel diameter were obtained with LDP methods. (C) RSNA, 2002.
