急性心电门控胸部CT中心脏病变的诊断：面向普通放射科医生的指南

The use of electrocardiographic-gated thoracic aortic computed tomographic angiography has become a routine clinico-radiological tool and has subsequently been incorporated into subspeciality national recommendations. Whilst the prevalence of acute aortic syndrome is relatively low, the same dataset provides the opportunity to identify the cause of the acute presentation, including coronary artery atheromatous disease and its consequences. Potentially life-threatening cardiac pathology continues to be overlooked and/or misinterpreted by radiologists despite being a required core competency. In the interest of minimising avoidable error and learning from previous errors, we aim to present some guidance for the general radiologist to assist in the image acquisition and interpretation of acute electrocardiographic -gated thoracic imaging.
