Abstract

Multi-detector-row computed tomography (MDCT) enables rapid, noninvasive, high-resolution, and three-dimensional imaging of pediatric vascular diseases. In this paper, we explore the adaptation of the MDCT angiographic principles to pediatric patients for vascular diseases of the abdomen, pelvis, and extremities. Special emphasis is placed on the practical aspects of how to perform these studies. Optimizations of scan parameters, contrast medium usage, radiation dose, and three-dimensional image processing are discussed in detail. We provide practical guidance on how to choose between MR angiography and CT angiography. Finally, we review important pediatric vascular diseases, categorized into traumatic injuries, inherited vascular diseases, congenital vascular diseases, vasculitides, and surgical planning and assessment. In each category, we discuss how CT angiography can be tailored to maximize its clinical benefits.
