Imaging modality for the CV-imaging project: Coronary angiography: - Done on the chest area, the probe rotates around the chest of the subject, but there is no such a thing as "chest Coronary angiography", it is simply called Coronary angiography.
- Creates images of the entire coronary artery system
Thoracic Echocardiogram (TEE): - Done on the chest and upper abdominal wall. The transducer is placed on various parts of the chest and upper belly to get different views of the heart. Again, there is no such a thing chest TEE.
- Creates images of the heart.
Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE): - Done from the inside of the Esophagus.
- Creates images of the heart.
Cine Angiography: - Done on the chest, again the probe is placed on top of the chest.
- creates images of the entire coronary artery system.
A chest CT doesn't mean that a CT is done on the chest (not PRLOC), it is a CT scan that creates images of the chest, more precisely the thoracic region. An abdominal CT doesn't mean a CT done on the abdomen (not PRLOC), it is a CT scan that creates images of the abdominal region. |
