Abstract
to report and discuss preliminary results obtained in varicose limbs by means of a volume rendering (VR)-computed tomography (CT) technique without contrast medium injection. VR-CT and duplex sonography (US) were performed to visualise the superficial veins of the lower extremity in eight healthy and 12 varicose limbs. VR-CT clearly demonstrated the 3D arrangement of the superficial veins and visualised small sized veins which were not visible at US examination. VR-CT is not suitable for routine evaluation of varicose limbs. VR-CT 3D reconstructions may be useful in the evaluation of atypical varicosis. Further studies are needed to define the role of VR-CT in deep venous disease.
