Mueller J et al.
AJR 2007; 189:414-419 "Cardiac CTA after CABG revealed a high prevalence of unsuspected cardiac and noncardiac findings with potential clinical significance. Interpreters of these studies should be familiar with the spectrum of these abnormalities." Cardiac CT Angiography After Coronary Bypass Surgery: Prevalence of Incidental Findings
Mueller J et al.
AJR 2007; 189:414-419 - "Volume analysis revealed that 35.5% of the total chest volume was displayed on dedicated coronary artery MDCT focused on the heart, whereas 70.3% of the chest was visible when MDCT raw data were reconstructed with the maximal field of view."
