Prevalance of Non-Coronary Findings in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Multidetector Computed Tomography Scans

Amaç Çok kesitli bilgisayarlı tomografi ile yapılan koroner kalsiyum skorlaması sırasında kalp dışı bulguları incelemek. Materyal ve Metod Çalışmaya 190 çok kesitli bilgisayarlı tomografi ile koroner kalsiyum skorlaması yapılan hasta alındı. Kalp dışı bulgular Minor, Major A-B olarak tanımlandı. Bulgular Çalışmaya alınan hastalardan 80'inde 177 kalp dışı bulgu tespit edildi (42.1%). Bu hastaların 40'ında minor bulgular (21%), 40'ında major bulgular (21%) mevcuttu. Majör B bulgular aort anevrizması, akciğerde kitle, akciğer nodülleri ve infiltrasyonları, pnömonektomi, böbrek üstü bezde nodüler kalınlaşma ve karaciğer kitle lezyonlarını içermektedir. Sonuç Kalp dışı bulgular sık görülür. Bu bulguları raporlayan radyolog ve/veya kardiyologlar, bu bulguların sıklığı ve önemi konusunda dikkatli olmalıdırlar.

Kardiyak Çok Kesitli Bilgisayarlı Tomografi İle Değerlendirilen Hastalarda Koroner Dışı Bulguların Prevalansı

Aim To investigate non-coronary findings during coronary calcium scoring with computed tomography. Material and Method 190 patients who were evaluated with multislice computed tomography for coronary calcium scoring, were included in the study. Noncoronary findings were described as Minor and Major A-B findings.Results One hundred seventy seven non-coronary findings were found at 80 (42.1%) patients. There were minor findings at 40 (21%) and major findings at 40 (21%) of the patients. There were 13 Major B findings including aortic aneurysm, pulmonary mass, pulmonary nodules, infiltrates, pneumonectomy, surrenal nodular thickening and liver mass lesions. Conclusion Non-coronary findings are frequent, and radiologist and/or cardiologist who has been reporting these findings should be aware of the frequency and importance of these findings.
