Ultra-low dose comprehensive cardiac CT imaging in a patient with acute myocarditis

Monique Tröbs et al. J Cardiovasc Comput Tomogr. 2014 Nov-Dec.

Abstract

The ability of contrast-enhanced CT to detect "late enhancement" in a fashion similar to magnetic resonance imaging has been previously reported. We report a case of acute myocarditis with coronary CT angiography as well as "late enhancement" imaging with ultra-low effective radiation dose.

Keywords: Late enhancement CT; Myocarditis; Ultra-low dose.
