Contiguous computed tomography angiography (CTA) of the chest.
Contiguous computed tomography angiography (CTA) of the chest is a useful diagnostic adjunct to the overall process of mediastinal imaging. The authors' method, termed Chiu-Dynamic, which includes multiple bolus injection of contrast material and advanced software programming for rapid scanning, produces excellent opacification of mediastinal vasculature and allows easier assessment of vascular anomalies and pathological soft tissue lesions.
