MDCT angiography of the extremities in pediatric patients: initial experience.
OBJECTIVE
We studied the feasibility of extremity MDCT angiography in pediatric patients with congenital anomalies, an extremity mass, and a suspected arterial occlusion.


CONCLUSIONS
In pediatric patients, MDCT angiography of the extremities with a short imaging time and a low dose of contrast material is feasible and can be used as a noninvasive alternative to conventional angiography.
