title: Three-dimensional CT angiography with multidetector CT data: study optimization, protocol design, and clinical applications in the abdomen.
abstract: The quality and flexibility of abdominal CT angiograms have been well served by advances in multidetector technology and volume rendering techniques, which allow real-time, interactive modification of high-quality data sets. We have applied this approach to many of the established and developing roles of CT and we discuss and illustrate protocol design and application.
