Image quality on dual-source computed-tomographic coronary angiographyJohannes Rixe
Department of Cardiology, Kerckhoff Heart Center, Benekestrasse 2 8, 61231, Bad Nauheim, Germany
Eur Radiol 18:1857-62. 2008..Compared with earlier CT generations, DSCT provides for non-invasive coronary angiography with diagnostic image quality even at heart rates >65 bpm and thus may broaden the spectrum of patients that can be investigated non-invasively...
Multi-detector computed tomography is equivalent to trans-oesophageal echocardiography for the assessment of the aortic annulus before transcatheter aortic valve implantationJohannes Rixe

Interobserver agreement for the detection of atherosclerotic plaque in coronary CT angiography: comparison of two low-dose image acquisition protocols with standard retrospectively ECG-gated reconstructionAnnika Schuhbäck
Department of Cardiology, University of Giessen, Giessen, Germany
Eur Radiol 22:1529-36. 2012..We compared the interobserver variability concerning the detection of calcified and non-calcified plaque in two different low-dose and standard retrospectively gated protocols for coronary CTA...
Immunohistological basis of the late gadolinium enhancement phenomenon in tako-tsubo cardiomyopathyAndreas Rolf
Department of Cardiology, Kerckhoff Heart Center, Benekestr 2 8, 61231 Bad Nauheim, Germany
Eur Heart J 30:1635-42. 2009..Only few patients show late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It was the purpose of this study to elucidate the histological basis of this phenomenon...
