  • Title: [ECG-controlled cardio-computer tomography (author's transl)].
    Author: Lackner K, Thurn P.
    Journal: Rofo; 1980 Feb; 132(2):164-9. PubMed ID: 6448202.
    Abstract:
    During ECG-controlled cardio-computer tomography, only certain defined phases of the cardiac cycle are used for computing the image. Consequently several cycles are necessary in order to obtain the required projection. ECG-controlled cardio-computer tomography produces findings regarding dys- or akinetic portions of the myocardium which are in good agreement with the laevo-cardiogram. The septum, apex and antero-lateral wall are demonstrated most easily, since their movement lies within the appropriate plane. Demonstration of the anterior and posterior walls is more difficult, since their movement is angled to the computer tomographic plane.
