All patients were imaged using a dual-source Somatom Flash CT scanner (Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany). Non-contrast dual-energy CT protocols are dose neutral with respect to single-energy acquisitions at our institution. The volume CT dose index (CTDIvol) for each scan was 59.8 mGy, and was based on a 16-cm International Electrochemical Commission (IEC) head dosimetry phantom. The scan parameters were as follows: Tube A, 80 kVp and 640 mAs; Tube B, 140 kVp with a tin filter and 320 mAs, beam collimation of 40 × 0.6 mm, a 1.0-s rotation time, matrix size 512 × 512, and a pitch of 1.0. Images were reconstructed at 3 mm using a medium smoothing Q34s kernel. Non-contrast DECT VMI images were reconstructed using the Monoenergetic+ software module in Syngo Via (Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany).

Cardiac CT for Left Atrial Appendage

A Siemens Somatom Flash CT scanner (2× Stellar detector, 128-slice CT) and a retrospective electrocardiograph gating technique were used for this evaluation. Patients were asked to hold their breath after a single expiration; breathhold time was 4 to 7 s. A bolus dose of contrast was administered to view the aortic root, and the 5-second delay from the peak time was used as the delay time in the CTA scan. The reconstruction phase was selected during left ventricular diastole. The maximum diameter and maximum depth of the LAA were measured halfway from the pulmonary vein valve opening.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
