Role of CT Angiography & Colour Flow Imaging (USG) in Evaluation of Peripheral Arterial Diseases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purpose: To compare multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography &colour flow imaging (USG)in evaluation of patients with peripheral arterialdiseases. Also evaluate the role MDCT in providing information regarding collateral circulation in peripheral arterial diseases and aiding treatment planning in peripheral arterial diseases. Material and methods: CT angiography performed with “Brilliance” 64 slice CT scanner by Philips on 50 patients with clinical diagnosis peripheral arterial diseases. The authors performed additional Doppler ultrasound examination. Result and Conclusion: When colour Doppler USG and MDCTA are compared, MDCTA detects more stenotic or occluded arteries in supra-popliteal, infrapopliteal, whole leg comparisons & excellent diagnostic performance. Colour Doppler USG is useful screening tool, however in symptomatic patient for detailed evaluation, MDCTA is a semi-invasive, fast, and accurate alternative to DSA, and we believe MDCTA better detects stenotic or obstructed arteries than colour flow imaging (USG) in patients of PAD. Keyword: Color Doppler, MDCT, stenosis, PVD, DSA

Rapid imaging of peripheral vascular calcifications using in-phase, two-dimensional radial flash at 3 Tesla
Background The presence of dense peripheral vascular calcifications has negative prognostic implications in patients with peripheral arterial disease. In addition, the presence of dense calcifications may alter the choice of peripheral access site for patients undergoing percutaneous revascularization or TAVR procedures. Peripheral MR angiography is commonly used as an alternative to CT angiogr...
متن کاملEvaluation of the confounding factors disturbing the quality of CT images of pulmonary angiography
Background: Since pulmonary angiography is the only non-invasive method for diagnosing pulmonary embolism, the use of radiation reduction methods without affecting the quality of images seems necessary. One of the simplest reasons for unnecessarily increasing of patient exposure is repetitive imaging due to poor image quality. Therefore, it is necessary to identify and ...

متن کاملNoncontrast-enhanced peripheral MRA: technical optimization of flow-spoiled fresh blood imaging for screening peripheral arterial diseases.
Flow-spoiled fresh blood imaging, a noncontrast peripheral MR angiography technique, allows the depiction of the entire tree of peripheral arteries by utilizing the signal difference between systolic- and diastolic-triggered data. The image quality of the technique relies on selecting the right triggering delay times and flow-dependent read-out spoiler gradient pulses. ECG triggering delays wer...

Lower-extremity computed tomographic (CT) angiography (ie, peripheral CT angiography) is increasingly used to evaluate patients with peripheral arterial disease. It is therefore increasingly important for all vascular specialists to become familiar with the strengths and limitations of this new technique. The aims of this review are to explain the principles of scanning and injection technique ...
