Overview
- Computed tomography angiography (CTA) has really excellent diagnostic exactness for FMD of the renal arteries.
- CTA and MRA, both have good sensitivity and specificity in
detecting FMD-related RAS lesions, CTA has a better spatial resolution than MRA [1], especially for distal lesions, [41] and can visualize small calcifications, providing a better discrimination of atherosclerotic vs. FMD lesions in older patients, and may thus be preferred to MRA. However, it has the disadvantage of exposing patients to irradiation, nephrotoxicity, and allergic reactions to iodinated contrast medium.
CT scan
- There are no CT scan findings associated with [disease name].
OR
- [Location] CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on CT scan suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include:
- [Finding 1]
- [Finding 2]
- [Finding 3]
OR There are no CT scan findings associated with [disease name]. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include: [Complication 1] [Complication 2] [Complication 3]
