Performance of systolic high-pitch coronary CT angiography in heart transplant recipients

    A recent study assessed the feasibility, image quality and radiation dose of high-pitch CT angiography (CTA) during the systolic phase for the evaluation of coronary vasculopathy in orthotopic heart transplant recipients. This technique resulted in a good image quality at a
    significantly lower radiation dose compared to retrospective ECG-gated coronary CTA.
