[CT angiography (CTA)].
Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is today a well-established diagnostic technique for non-invasive vascular imaging and has replaced diagnostic intra-arterial angiography. Especially since the implementation of multi detector-row computed tomography (MDCT) the acquisition of isotropic data sets is possible, thus widening the spectrum of clinical application of multi detector-row computed tomography. Compared to intra-arterial angiography computed tomography angiography is less invasive and cheaper.
