    Author: Lumia D, Carrafiello G, Laganà D, Musazzi A, Giorgianni A, Sala A, Fugazzola C.
    Journal: Vasc Health Risk Manag; 2008; 4(3):735-9. PubMed ID: 18827925.
    Abstract:
    Multidetector computed tomography has been shown to be accurate in noninvasive assessment of chest vascular disease. The motion artifacts of the thoracic aorta and the supra-aortic vessels were significantly reduced in the electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated data acquisition. This positive effect of ECG synchronization is more pronounced in the region of the ascending aorta, aortic arch, and proximal descending aorta.
