CT and MR Angiography of the Peripheral Circulation (Practical Approach with Clinical Protocols)

This text discusses the basic aspects of multislice CT angiography. Topics include technical principles, basic scan technique for peripheral vascular imaging with multislice CT, image reconstruction with multislice CT, radiation doses, and contrast agent administration. The book covers clinical applications for each major vascular territory. It provides clear descriptions of the examination technique for assessing the peripheral vasculature—including the aorta—to detect various vascular pathologies. A section on MR angiography provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of magnetic resonance (MR) vascular imaging.
