128-slice dual-source CT coronary angiography with prospectively electrocardiography-triggered high-pitch spiral mode: radiation dose, image quality, and diagnostic acceptability.

CONCLUSION: The radiation dose is lower with HPS than with other modes, and the HPS mode-acquired images of patients with heart rates of ≤65 bpm are nearly acceptable for diagnostic image interpretation. PMID: 25972368 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
