Time-Resolved, Dynamic Computed Tomography Angiography for Characterization of Aortic Endoleaks and Treatment Guidance via 2D-3D Fusion-Imaging

Abstract:
10-year experience of use of spiral computed tomography (CT) with bolus intravascular contrasting allowed the authors to determine the advantages of this method in aortic aneurysm diagnostics and to show the importance of its application in dynamic monitoring. The article also covers drawbacks of the method, which are not so significant as the advantages, because the CT method answers practically all surgeon's questions, including the length, localization of aneurism, presence of congenital vascular anomalies, fistulas, hemorrhages or prosthesis infection in postoperative period. CT meets all the diagnostic requirements and bears minimal risk while quickly giving enough information about anomalies of bloodstream and surrounding tissues in a certain patient.

The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
