My Approach To Myocardial Extracellular Volume Quantification Using Cardiac Computed Tomography
Abstract
The quantification of myocardial extracellular volume (ECV) has demonstrated both diagnostic and prognostic value in various heart diseases. While ECV is typically assessed using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), it can also be measured through cardiac computed tomography (CCT) imaging. This article discusses the application of CCT for myocardial ECV calculation, detailing the technique, its advantages and disadvantages, and its potential clinical applications.
