title: Multidetector CT angiography of the abdomen.
abstract: Multidetector CT angiography (MDCTA) is redefining traditional imaging strategies of the vascular structures of the abdomen. Angiographic depiction of normal and variant anatomy is becoming the standard for evaluation and has a significant impact in transplant and oncologic surgery. MDCTA is increasingly being used for assessing diseases affecting the vasculature of the abdominal organs, including the abdominal aorta for treatment planning and post therapy follow-up.
