Pulmonary Artery Size Measurements: A Comparison Study Between Electrocardiogram-Gated and Nonelectrocardiogram-Gated Computed Tomography
Conclusions
The PA size was different between ECG-gated CT and non–ECG-gated CT, whereas the PA size parameters on non–ECG-gated CT could be used to predict those with ECG-gated CT, which allow for confident prediction of pulmonary hypertension and guide further surgical intervention.
