Sagittal views (a–d) of the volume rendered PCI-CT images of the heart and implanted cardiac patch, the horizontal long axial plane of the patch (e–h) attached to the myocardium (i–l), and the apparent refractive index profiles (m–p) corresponding to the blue lines indicated on the heart-patch PCI-CT images (i–l) that utilized tomography projections of 3000 (a,e,i,m), 1500 (b,f,j,n), 1000 (c,g,k,o) and 750 (d,h,l,p) to assess low-dose PCI-CT (q) and image quality criteria (r). |
