ECG non-gated multi-detector computed tomography protocol prior to catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation provides sufficient data quality with lower radiation exposure compared to ECG-gated protocol. A prospective, randomized and blinded study

Background: The role of ECG-gating in left atrium (LA) computed tomography (MDCT) imaging is not precisely defined. Methods and Results: 62 patients were randomized according to ECG gating with prospective evaluation of image quality, Volume CT Dose Index, Dose Length Product, Effective Dose and reg...
