摘要：

The effect of the size of the field of view (FOV) on coronary artery calcium measurements at multi-detector row computed tomography (CT) was assessed. Coronary multi-detector row CT was performed with an identical protocol in 100 consecutive subjects. CT images were' reconstructed at different FOV sizes (210, 260, and 310 mm). Calcified coronary lesions were detected in all three image sets in 52 subjects. The FOV sizes tested for multi-detector row CT coronary screening had a negligible effect on coronary artery calcium measurements (P greater than or equal to 06). However, risk stratification decreased by one level in seven of 52 subjects when the FOV increased from 210 or 260 to 310 mm. (C) RSNA, 2004.
