简要总结
To assess the ability of a novel 3rd generation dual-source CT system to demonstrate myocardial perfusion in a cohort of patients presenting to the Chest Pain Center with acute chest pain.
详细描述
The investigators will assess the latest generation of CT scanner for heart disease detection. On this new machine the investigators will analyse the ability of the machine to show the delivery of blood to the heart muscle. Results will be compared with the results from the gold standard test for myocardial perfusion imaging, which is an imaging test that shows the blood supply to the heart muscle. Further analyses will record the amount of radiation, which is how the CT machine acquires images, and compare the amount of radiation necessary to produce images to previous CT systems. With this new CT system there should be reductions in the amount of radiation dose compared to previous systems.

研究组 & 干预措施
Myocardial Stress CT Perfusion
Dynamic volume CT myocardial perfusion using the experimental scanner (Force, Siemens), applying the "dynamic shuttle" mode will be used to rapidly cover the entire cardiac anatomy during infusion of a contrast medium bolus for monitoring bolus passage through the left ventricular myocardium.
干预措施: Somatom Force CT Scanner (Device)
结局指标
主要结局
Diagnostic Accuracy of Dynamic Perfusion CT
时间窗: 1 Day
The diagnostic accuracy of dynamic perfusion CT of the heart for evaluation of perfusion, viability and function during stress and rest will be compared with SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging using p-values for comparison of reader specific values, calculated by means of the McNemar test.
次要结局
- CTMP/SPECT MPI Disagreement(1 Day)
- Radiation Dose(1 Day)
