This activity provides a concise review of CT angiographic techniques for the thoraz, upper extremities, abdominal aorta, mesenteric arteries and the lower extremities. There is a strong emphasis on protocal design with regards to dose reduction techniques and contrast dosing. These discussions are case based with many clinical examples.

This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of interventional radiologists, vascular physicians, other physicians at all levels with special interest in CT angiographic techniques.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this enduring activity, participants should be able to:

• Design and implement CT angiographic protocols for imaging of the thorax, upper extremities, abdominal aorta, mesenteric arteries, and the lower extremities
• Explain the available practices to optimize contrast enhancement of the target vascular bed
• Adopt the available techniques to reduce radiation dosage
• Describe the potential advantage of duel-energy CTA over single-energy CTA
