Dynamic CT of the chest.
Dynamic CT of the chest is superior to conventional CT and electronic radiography with contrast medium. The advantages are the high intravasal concentration of contrast medium immediately after its injection, and that the wash-out effect of it can be studied. Dynamic CT of the chest may be used in the differentiation between vessels and solid lesions and may be used to assess regional ventilation. Patency of coronary bypasses may be demonstrated. Digital subtraction angiography may eventually replace most of the rôle played today by dynamic CT of the chest.
