| Abstract | Computed tomography (CT) is an emerging tool to detect stress-induced myocardial perfusion abnormalities. We hypothesized that iterative reconstruction (IR) could improve the accuracy of the detection of significant coronary artery disease using quantitative 3D analysis of myocardial perfusion during vasodilator stress. We studied 39 patients referred for CT coronary angiography (CTCA) who agreed to undergo additional imaging with regadenoson (Astelias). Images were acquired using 256-channel scanner (Philips) and reconstructed using 2 different algorithms: filtered backprojection (FEP) and IR (iDose 7, Philips). Custom software was used to analyze both FEP and IR images. An index of severity and extent of perfusion abnormality was calculated for each 3D myocardial segment and compared to perfusion defects predicted by coronary stenosis > 50% on CTCA. Five patients with image artifacts were excluded. Ten patients with normal coronaries were used to obtain reference values, which were used to correct for x-ray attenuation differences among normal myocardial segments. Compared to the conventional FEP images, IR images had considerably lower noise levels, resulting in tighter histograms of x-ray attenuation. In the remaining 24 patients, IR improved the detection of perfusion abnormalities. Quantitative 3D analysis of MDCT images allows objective detection of stress-induced perfusion abnormalities, the accuracy of which is improved by IR. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
