Rule Out Myocardial Infarction by Computer Assisted Tomography

"1. Localization of the heart position in a projectional topographic scan of the chest.~2. Determination of contrast agent transit time: 10 ml contrast agent.~3. CT coronary angiography: CT scan in spiral acquisition mode with 330 ms rotation time, 32 x 0.6 mm collimation, a pitch of 2.8 mm/rotation, tube voltage of 120 kVp, and maximum tube current of 850 mA. 80 ml of contrast agent, followed by 40 ml saline solution will be injected at a rate of 4 ml/s. The mean breath hold duration for this acquisition is approximately 13 seconds."
