CT angiography of peripheral arterial disease JOURNAL OF VASCULAR AND INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY Fleischmann, D., Hallett, R. L., Rubin, G. D. 2006; 17 (1): 3-26

Abstract

Lower-extremity computed tomographic (CT) angiography (ie, peripheral CT angiography) is increasingly used to evaluate patients with peripheral arterial disease. It is therefore increasingly important for all vascular specialists to become familiar with the strengths and limitations of this new technique. The aims of this review are to explain the principles of scanning and injection technique for a wide range of CT scanners, to explain and illustrate the properties of current image postprocessing tools for effective visualization and treatment planning, and to provide an overview of current clinical applications of peripheral CT angiography.
