[Helical CT of abdominal aorta].
Journal de Radiologie 2005 January
The purpose was to illustrate that single or multirow spiral CT angiography has become the main modality for the examination of the abdominal aorta. Our multidisciplinary group investigates weekly 15 abdominal aortas, with a single slice spiral CT since 1995, and a 4 row detector spiral CT since 1999. CT scans protocols and parameters optimization for the 2 CT systems are described. Indications and results of CT to investigate the various abdominal aortic diseases are illustrated and discussed: aneurisms (pretherapeutic staging, selection of indications of endovascular stent-grafting); obstructive aorto-arteriopathies (pretherapeutic staging, follow up after endovascular revascularization); dissection (diagnosis, pretherapeutic staging, follow up); inflammatory diseases; normal patterns and principal complications after surgery. Situations where multislice CT is superior to single slice CT and compared advantages of MRI are discussed. CT is at the present time the main technique to image abdominal aorta. Multislice CT is especially interesting to explore the whole aorta, poly traumatisms, and to plan and follow up endovascular treatments.
