In 1988, the first contrast agent specifically designed for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),
gadopentetate dimeglumine (Magnevist®), became available for clinical use. Since then, a …

Methods The cardiovascular system can be imaged with the use of two different computer
tomography (CT) modalities: one employs nonmechanical movement of the x-ray source (ie …

Objectives: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the predictive
value of findings of coronary computed tomography angiography for incident cardiovascular …

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of 64-
