Conclusion
CTA has become first line imaging method for many vascular conditions. The image quality can,
however,
be limited by motion and blooming artefacts and poor contrast in vessel lumen.
CT technology is rapidly advancing.
CTA is a prime example of utilizing some of these latest techniques that lead to superior diagnostic image quality with no compromise of radiation dose.
Radiologists are no longer just imaging diagnosticians,
but are also forefront technological experts who are able to guide the development and applications of new imaging techniques for appropriate clinical settings,
and keep transforming radiology into future. These will result in better patients’ care,
and at the same time,
gaining stronger confidence from clinicians.
