Abdomen: Aortic aneurysm- Page 1

3D CT Angiography is the study of choice in the evaluation of suspected aortic aneurysm or dissection. Using a non-invasive technique and a study time of less than a minute CT meets the needs of even the most difficult of patients in the acute setting. 3D CT Angiography will detect the presence of any vascular disease and define its extent. Complications such as active bleeding can easily be detected. Involvement of branch vessels like the SMA or renal arteries is easily defined. Angioscopic display of the 3D data set as well as the use of stereoscopic imaging are some of the advantages of this technique.
