Aortic Study Technique: Angio-TC: Minimum Criteria and State of the Art

CT angiography is nowadays the most widely used method for the study of the thoraco-abdominal aorta. This is because, compared to other imaging methods, it allows the acquisition of the entire aorta in a short time and allows to perform 3D reconstructions, useful for surgical planning, with high anatomical detail. The choice of the proper acquisition protocol is essential. The injection of contrast media should be tailored according to acquisition time and contrast media Iodine concentration.
