Superparamagnetic iron oxide MR imaging contrast agents have been the subjects of
extensive research over the past decade. The iron oxide particle size of these contrast agents …

Background Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain is increasingly used both in
research and in clinical medicine, and scanner hardware and MRI sequences are continually …

Objectives : This study sought to determine the diagnostic accuracy of 64-slice computed
tomographic coronary angiography (CTCA) to detect or rule out significant coronary artery …

Background— The diagnostic performance of the latest 64-slice CT scanner, with increased
temporal (165 ms) and spatial (0.4 mm 3 ) resolution, to detect significant stenoses in the …

Objectives : We sought to determine the diagnostic accuracy of noninvasive visual (computed
tomography coronary angiography [CTCA]) and quantitative computed tomography …

Background and Purpose—We previously reported on the high prevalence of cerebral
microbleeds (CMBs) in community-dwelling people aged 60 years and older. Moreover, we found …

Aims The aim was to validate, update, and extend the Diamond–Forrester model for estimating
the probability of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in a contemporary cohort. …

Objectives : This study was designed to prospectively evaluate the diagnostic performance
of multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) coronary angiography for the detection of …

Multislice computed tomography (CT) is an emerging technique for the non-invasive detection
of coronary stenoses. While the diagnostic accuracy of 4-slice scanners was limited, 16-…

Objective: Cerebral microbleeds are frequently found in the general elderly population and
may reflect underlying vascular disease, but their role in cognitive function is unknown. …
