Abstract:
Accurate mapping of the aortic aneurysm in relation to the renal artery is pivotal in the success of abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Currently, contrast computed tomography (CT), a method of combining both angiography and CT scan, is being used in the evaluation and diagnosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm. We report a series of cases in which contrast CT alone gave us misleading information on the true nature of the aneurysm in relation to the renal arteries. We conclude that the three-dimensional spiral CT reconstructed model provides better morphologic information for clinical decision-making than contrast CT alone.

Computed Tomography
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...
