Abstract:
Runoff computed tomography angiography (CTA) is commonly used to diagnose peripheral artery disease (PAD) of the lower extremities. However, the risk of non-conclusive examination due to suboptimal timing and overrunning the contrast medium bolus is a major pitfall that must be considered. Here we describe two case studies using dynamic time-resolved CTA imaging of the peripheral vascularity.

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...
