Computed Tomography

A 63-year-old male patient presented himself to the hospital, after a sudden onset of syncope, for a check-up. A Dual Energy CT angiography was performed on a Dual Source CT, SOMATOM Pro.Pulse, to rule out suspected bilateral carotid artery stenoses.

A 63-year-old female patient, with a history of Hypoglycemia, had a calcium stimulation challenge test which showed diffuse insulin secretion throughout the pancreas, suspecting an insulinoma. However, a conventional CT examination did not reveal any pancreatic lesion. A contrast CT scan was performed with NAEOTOM Alpha for further evaluation.

A 59-year-old male patient, with a history of triple CABG and coronary stenting, came to the hospital with non-specific symptoms. A CT scan with a dual source photon-counting detector CT, NAEOTOM Alpha®, was performed to evaluate the patency of the grafts, the anastomoses and the stent.

A 69-year-old male patient, complaining of abdominal pain slowly progressing over the past 3 months, came to the hospital for a check-up. Ultrasound examination revealed a mixed solid and cystic mass in the pancreatic body, with suspicious invasion into the gastric wall. A CT examination was performed with a photon-counting CT, NAEOTOM Alpha®, for further assessment.

A 78-year-old female diabetic patient, with clinical symptoms of a suspected stable angina, came to the hospital for a check-up. A coronary CT angiography was requested to evaluate the coronary arteries and to rule out coronary stenosis. A prospectively ECG-triggered sequential mode was performed with a dual source photon-counting detector CT, NAEOTOM Alpha®.
