Abstract:
Recent advances in multi-detector CT technology, improving the spatial resolution and the acquisition time, provide basis for CT-angiography of the abdominal aorta and peripheral vessels of the lower extremities. The objective of this review is to help the clinician to understand principle of CT-angiography of peripheral vessels and to provide an overview of the current clinical applications as well as the futures directions in diagnosis, treatment planning and post-therapeutic surveillance in peripheral vascular diseases.
