Abstract Purpose To evaluate the image quality and ability to delineate the small visceral arteries of high-resolution (HR) abdominal CT angiography (CTA) using an ultra-high-resolution computed tomography (UHR CT) scanner. Materials and methods Thirty-seven patients were enrolled who underwent abdominal CTA using a UHR CT scanner. The images were reconstructed with a matrix of 1024 × 1024 and 0.25 mm thickness for HR CTA and with a matrix of 512 × 512 and 0.5 mm thickness for normal resolution (NR) CTA. Maximum CT value, image quality, and delineation of the small arteries were compared between HR CTA and NR CTA. Results HR CTA showed significantly higher maximum CT value, higher image quality, and better delineation of the small arteries than did NR CTA (P < .005). Conclusion HR CTA using a UHR CT scanner showed higher image quality than NR CTA and enhanced the delineation of visceral arteries.
