Overview
CT Angiography
- Computed tomographic angiography
- Benefits:
- Useful to asses PAD anatomy and presence of significant stenoses
- Useful to select patients who are candidates for endovascular or surgical revascularization
- Helpful to provide associated soft tissue diagnostic information that may be associated with PAD presentation
- Metal clips, stents, and metallic prostheses do not cause significant CTA artifacts
- Scan times are significantly faster than for MRA
- Limitations:
- Single-detector computed tomography lacks accuracy for detection of stenosis
- Spatial resolution lower than digital subtraction angiography
- Accuracy and effectiveness not as well determined as MRA
- Asymmetrical opacification in legs may obscure arterial phase in some vessels
- Requires iodinated contrast and ionizing radiation
- Venous opacification can obscure arterial filling
- Benefits:
