Study Notes
CTA Overview
- The main purpose of CTA (Computed Tomography Angiography) is to evaluate the vascular system and diagnose vascular diseases.
CTA Technique
- The recommended contrast injection rate for lower-limb CTA is 4-5 mL/sec.
- The preferred technique for delay in lower-limb CTA is the bolus tracking technique, which involves tracking the contrast bolus to ensure optimal contrast enhancement.
CTA Image Acquisition
- The recommended slice thickness for lower-limb CTA is 0.5-1.5 mm, which provides high-resolution images of the vascular system.
CTA Indications
- Indications for lower-limb CTA include suspected peripheral artery disease, acute limb ischemia, and trauma or injury to the lower limb.
