1 CT angiography

2 Multislice CT - fast scanning - submilimeter slices

3 CT angiography - Minimal invasivity - High resolution (similar to DSA, higher than MRI) - Cannot assess hemodynamics (contrary to DSA) - Radiation - Iodinated CM In most of diagnostic indications CT replaced DSA

4 CM application Power injector - CM volume - injection rate - acquisition timing CM volume ml rate ml/s

5 Pharmacokinetics of CM 1 Peripheral vein 1 2 Right heart parts 3 Pulmonary arteries and veins Left heart parts Systemic arteries 6 Systemic veins 7 B 7 Portal system

6 Circulation phases and circulation time 1 Venous prephase (immediately after CM application) 2 pulmonary arterial phase (10-15 s) 3 systemic arterial phase (15-30 s)

7 Cirkulační fáze a cirkulační čas II. 4 venous phase (variable: 40 s - 2 min) 5 portal phase (40-60 s)

8 Density of vessels after CM bolus 1 Ao 2 VP 3 VCI First pass (higher concentration of CM) - arteries - perfusion examination Recirculation (lower concentration of CM) - veins

9 Conditions of CT angiography 1) exact timing of data acquisition determination of circulation time 2) sufficient density during whole acquisition correct injection parameters (volume, rate, scanning delay)

10 The dynamics of CM is determined by: 1) cardiac output 2) injection rate 3) volume of CM 4) concentration of CM 5) patient pathology

11 Acquisition timing Circulation time interval between start of contrast bolus and opacification of evaluated vessel 1) empirical assessment recirculation - veins 2) automatic monitoring dynamic serial scanning after CM administration automatic start after increase of density above threshold value the most accurate method

12 Evaluation Thin slices (0,6-3 mm) Multiplanar reconstructions 3D reconstructions Automatic analysis

13 Basic findings 1. Abnormal course 2. Dilatation 3. Stenosis 4. Occlusion 5. Dissection 6. Extravasation 7. Arteriovenous malformation 8. Pathological vascularization

14 Cerebral vessels Acute stroke with short anamnesis - possibility of thrombolysis (precontrast examination + perfusion exanimation + CT AG) Intracranial bleeding - detection of the source (aneurysm, AVM) Sinus thrombosis Chronical Atherosclerotic involvemnet (symptomatic, asymptomatic) Asymptomatic vascular malformations and aneurysms Tumors Follow-up examinations after vascular interventional procedures or surgery

15 Perfusion examination Functional method for quantification of perfusion. directly proportional relationship between amount of iodine and density in CT - small amount of CM (30-50 ml) - high injection rate (5-9 ml/s) - repeated scanning during the first pass of CM - calculation of perfusion parameters Basic parameters - cerebral blood volume (CBV) - cerebral blood flow (CBF) - time to peak (TTP)

16 Ischemia in the left cerebral haemisphere CBF CBV TTP Necrosis <12 ml/100mg/min, Penumbra ml/100mg/min

17 Volume perfusion CT of the brain before thrombolysis (aphasia, right hemiplegia) after thrombolysis(aphasia remaind, right hemiplegia recovered)

18 Embolisation to the basilar artery, ischemia of the right cereballar haemisphere

19 CBV CBF TTP cclusion of the right middle cerabral artery before and after a thrombolysis CBV CBF TTP

20 Atherosclerotic plaque Stable fibrous plaque calcified plaque unstable lipoid plaque ulcerated plaque

21 Tortuosity - coiling Tortuosity - kinking CBV CBF TTP CBV CBF TTP

49 Vascular reconstructions

50 Anomalies of renal vessels Laparoscopic nefrectomy planning

51 Acute occlusion of mesenteric artery High mortality and morbidity - intestinal ischemia - gangrena - peritonitis
