Excerpt

The 4th annual meeting of the Japan Regional Committee of the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography featured developments and implementation of new algorithms for multidetector CT. The Japan Regional Committee is acknowledged as the first organized international regional committee of this society. The meeting had 284 attendees and was held at Shinagawa in Tokyo, Japan on September 4th, 2010. The program featured talks focusing on high quality, reproducible, and accurate coronary CT angiography. For example, in the lecture titled “Radiation Dose Reduction for 320-row CT” by Dr. Masatoshi Tsunoda, protocol strategies to reduce radiation and iodinated contrast media were detailed. With respect to radiation, there was a large experience in imaging on the order of 2 mSv or less, with lower limits on the order of 0.5 mSv for a complete coronary CT angiogram. To lower radiation, different institutions used iterative reconstruction, phase shift reconstruction, and volume scan techniques. Lower-dose coronary CTA and important clinical applications were featured in original articles within a recent edition of the International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging [1]. …
