Abstract
CT angiography can be used to evaluate carotid artery stenosis with high diagnostic safety. In contrast to the gold standard digital subtraction angiography (DSA) it is a non-invasive procedure which yields information regarding the degree of stenosis as well as information about plaque morphology. Due to multiple reconstruction planes in 3 levels in maximum intensity projections (MIP) and the possibility to perform volume rendering (VR) reconstruction more information about the extent of carotid disease can be acquired. Due to the bolus tracking technique optimum contrast medium enhancement of the carotid artery with simultaneous minimization of venous artifacts is possible.
