Tomographic Angiography

Stroke is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and effective treatment requires rapid diagnosis and recognition of relevant vascular lesions. In this review we will discuss the usefulness and versatility of computed tomography angiography in the setting of stroke, be it ischemic or hemorrhagic, minor or disabling. Furthermore, we also highlight how we use computed tomography angiography in decision making in transient ischemic attacks, acute disabling ischemic stroke, and hemorrhagic stroke.

Tomographic Angiography

In a retrospective study of CT examinations of liver tumours in 37 patients intra- and extrahepatic tumour growth was estimated in order to see if resectability could be predicted. The findings were compared with the evaluation at laparatomy. Four out of 15 tumours, resectable according to CT, turned out to be unresectable and 9 out of 37 CT examinations did not reveal the total extent of tumour growth. A more reliable preoperative radiologic assessment may be obtained by improvement of current CT techniques, by computed tomographic angiography, intraoperative ultrasound or MR imaging.
