Abstract
An in vitro study of computed tomographic (CT) scanning of experimental myocardial infarction (MI) was performed by studying isolated dog hearts 18-48 h. post-infarction. CT scanning did not detect histologically present calcification in the area of an MI, but was used to identify wall thickness changes in these areas. Decreased attenuation coefficients were found in infarcted myocardium where thinning was present. The potential of CT scanning to detect areas of MI was confirmed.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
