Abstract:
New developments in technique and postprocessing have led to further improvement in diagnosing and evaluating peripheral arterial disease (PAD) by noninvasive computed tomographic angiography (CTA) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Under clinical conditions diagnostic conventional angiography (DSA) will be increasingly replaced by CTA and MRA. The radiologist has to become familiar with the field of indications, the different techniques, postprocessing tools, and effective visualization. In consideration of the current literature some methodological aspects and the role of CTA and MRA in PAD will be discussed.
