Three-dimensional CT angiography with multidetector CT data: study optimization, protocol design, and clinical applications in the abdomen.
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.
